I picked a pair of Packham pears at Whole Foods the other day. I’ve never had a Packham pear and this photograph looks nothing like a Packham pear because I added a crackle texture in Perfect Photo Suite 8. Of course my pair of Packham pears was inspired by my Flickr challenge group; Monday’s challenge was “A Pair.” After taking a very high key shot with each pear supported by an overturned wine glass against a white diffuser in front of my north facing window seat window, I thought the shot needed a little more interest, hence the crackle. I liked the effect and added a bit of a vignette to tone down the white.
