With the advent of digicam, getting the right exposure is a simple matter of trial and error these days. You can take many photos with 1/3 stop difference, and later you can take your pick. Once you master the basic techniques of exposure and DOF by varying aperture/ISO/shutterspeed, you will run into the real challenge, composition. This is where most budding amatuer photographers get stuck. That's where I am stuck too. Composition is what separates likes of us from likes of Rudra.

@Navdeep: Isn't that tomato? Raspberries look like this...

Thanks Navin, light : nothing complex. Its simple natural light with reflection from ceramics.
Exif : will post soon.

Thats what my fruitwalla telling me.
Not sure Sam. My knowledge is poor. These fruits are not common here. May be some form of Raspberries.

Last week I found a personal treasure, lots of photo negatives from my 1993-95 days. Not all, but some of them, about 236 photos. I got them all scanned and found some good ones. I'll routinely post them in future in this thread. Hope you like it. I've left the date on it intentionally.

Take note, these are not digicam pictures, instead they are taken using Olympus IS-3 SLR on 200 ISO film.

Those are Gooseberries, not raspberries and certainly not tomatoes

Here's another night shot.

Hey Ben, I tried recomposing your shot, hope you don't mind.

[benbsb29]

@ Samurai : Not at all.... ur free to do so.
even i felt there was a lot of sky in the snap... which needed to be cropped.
