Challenge: Granular (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Sony Mavica CD500
Location: Williamstown, MA, my kitchen, stove top
Date: May 23, 2005
Aperture: 2.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/50
Galleries: Macro
Date Uploaded: May 23, 2005

 Sea Salt - 1 bottle
Peppercorn - 1
Aluminum Foil
75 watt bulb and ball lamp
2 mag lites
10x Lupe
Camera in macro mode, no zoom

Focused lupe on salt and pepper, placed lense against lupe eyepiece, focused, shot. Cropped picture, resized and saved for web. No other post processing.

I tried this with regular salt and one pepper grain, but it just didn't look right. Then I went to seasonings and shot quite a few that were fairly good and submitted one. Then I saw the sea salt and peppercorns while shopping and knew I had to try again. So this is it.
