Unwanted coleslaw sounds like a pretty good band name to me. I liked this picture because of the way that the flash interacted with the shallow depth of field and the shiny surfaces. I fired the flash on camera, pointed straight up to the ceiling. If I had put a warming gel on the flash, the light would have been more subtle, but I like the way the white bowl and pale green coleslaw are brought out by the pure bare flash.
I fired it on manual at 1/64 power, which according to
Nikon, means that the duration of the flash was 1/35700 sec.
My shutter speed was 1/60 sec, which means that the light from the flash only shone for 0.1% of the time that the shutter was open. It is hard to believe that such a short period of time can affect a shot so much, but it really can.
