thanks again for the comments - and, like I said, it wasn't creativity this time - it was just a lot of experimentation to see what worked. (I moved the light source around a lot too which I think helped beat the flatness) Glad you like it!

Creative exposure again Penny. I would have guessed it to come out flat looking but it's just the opposite. Excellent. -Doug

aam, dt, Rod, thanks and Carole, I played around with different F-stops and wound up with the picture that was the most close-up. Yes, I think it helped the focus.I put an extra light in the kitchen too.Penny Street

Great detail in this too Penny and at f/32! Did you need that setting to get everything in focus? Good exposure and the whites look great! CJ

Geez these look nice & fluffy a. The lighting looks good too.

Mmmm, I can smell the popcorn popping. Good idea and shot well. ~dtallakson

aam...I've got a Theater II Popcorn Popper. It makes stovetop popcorn. It works well and tastes a lot like fresh popcorn bought at a theater and is very inexpensive. ~dtallakson

I *love* popcorn. Need to get a machine. Any recommendation.
