Day 272 - PYO

South Berwick, ME

My wife took the kids to an apple orchard on Monday to pick apples (Pick Your Own). This is some sort of annual event for them (I opted out). PYO's are a sham, they wind up selling more apples to families because the kids have no restraint. They fill bag after bag. Had they gone straight to the storehouse, they'd have only bought one bushel. As it was, my wife told me that my son filled a bag rather fast (he has one arm in a sling) and then after she took the bag from him and told him to stop, he filled up his sling with small apples, he couldn't stop. Addiction starts young apparently. Though I have to admit, I am much happier to have them passionate about apples that they will eat versus bags of candy that will rot their teeth and make them fat. So, these are two of the apples from two separate bags. I used the Diffused Oat Snoot again today, I would take a shot, move the lighting, take another. Had I stitched the photo session together to make a video, it would have looked like a spinning planet orbiting the sun. Strobist info: Canon 580EX2 Diffused through Oat Snoot 100% power, camera right, slightly behind subject.
