Tell Tale Heart

My wife brought home a watermelon, and without any warning whatsoever I was just itching to shoot it. So I did. Used lightpainting technique from both sides, but this time added some back lighting to bring out the “heart” and really showcase the beautiful red color. It was very difficult to show the center of the melon, where you can see the insides, and also show the surface texture. So, again I ended up with an image that wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, but I’m really enjoying these photographic surprises.

As usual, Pentax K5 and Sigma 70mm Macro. God bless and good shooting!
