The Sunday Challenge - Pushing The Boundaries

The Sunday Challenge - Pushing The Boundaries
TSC - Pushing the Boundaries

This week I am trying out my new lens (Thank you Jon.)

For my first time I used all manual settings (including focus) and chose extreme macro with high contrast on some wonderful Italian Ferrero Rocher chocolates. This is SOOC with some cropping only and no post processing. (I feel like I've entered a whole, new world.)

These chocolates are especially nice if you aren't used to much sugar. They aren't too sweet (just delicious) and are so nicely presented.

For a little history and info:

That's great, love the minimal focus and beautiful gold, all I can say is, to paraphrase those immortal words: 'Madame, with these Rocher you are really spoiling us.'

lol Thanks A.S. and thanks for the ad. It's a good one. I don't know if we get that here in the U.S.A. because I never watch ads. I just zip through them, but there are some enjoyable ones out there.

Absolutely love the colours, the strong contrasts at play and the soft DOF on this one Karen. That new lens and you are obviously going to get on very well ... just a shame I can't stand those chocolates! ;)

Thank you Paul. No one told me I would be falling in love with a lens, but I can hardly wait to do more with this one.

(So I guess you're just going to pass these chocolates up huh? ;)

Much as it pains me Karen to pass on anything covered in chocolate I'm afraid so! :(

Fabulous focus. I really like this shot. I would have been more impressed if you said you had pushed the boundaries and not eaten any! :))

What a great shot with your new lens. I looked at a box of these today, but it was a mixed box with white chocolate included so I resisted.
