I initially tried a few different combinations of fruit (including bananas, but they were too big to include, and really ruined the composition).<\/p>\n<p>As you can tell by the title, my thought behind the shot is to emulate some sort of fruit machine. Aswell as differing combinations, I tried various layouts too, in both portrait and landscape, and also varying the gaps between the items. None of them really looked &#8216;right&#8217; until I hit upon the idea of having both the top and bottom row &#8216;hang out&#8217; of the frame, almost looking like a fruit machine display, but also looking like a continuing roll. To break the composition and take it a step further I swapped a couple of the peppers round.<br \/>\nBefore trying this fruit machine idea, I took many photos around my flat. Some of my wife watching &#8216;Soapstar Superstar&#8217;, some of her reflection in the mirror, some of the mirror itself, and also other various things around the rooms. None of them really worked that well.<\/p>\n<p>As of today (and if I remember), then I&#8217;m going to include how many clicks of the shutter it&#8217;s taken to get &#8216;todays&#8217; photo. (This includes misfires and out of focus shots).<\/p>\n<p>Today, it&#8217;s been 62 shots.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also going to include EXIF details for the daily photos too:<\/p>\n<p>Canon EOS 30D | Flash Used: No | Focal Length : 31.0mm | Exposure Time: 8.000 s | Aperture: f\/9.0 | ISO equiv: 100<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/070107_2867.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"070107_2867.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,20,18,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-abstract","category-food","category-indoor","category-nature"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
