Well, this one was a longer time coming than I had planned. I had a bowl of mandarin oranges out on the patio and they caught my eye so I grabbed the M100 which still had the macro lens on it from yesterday and clicked off four shots. Many textures and a few trips through Topaz later, I finally came up with something I at least didn’t hate. I did crowd the top edge of the frame a little too much but I wanted to capture the citrus in the table cloth too so there you go.
Today’s quote is from Roderick McIver’s book: Art as a Way of Life. The quote is from Andrew Wyeth:
What I was after is what you get sugaring off maple from the maple tree. You keep boiling it down until you have the essence of purity.
