My sister placed this bowl of friut on her coffee table. I photographed it as is, with existing light. I was quite surprised when reviewing it on my computer. It turned out quite good, considering the camera's limitations and using existing light only (and using no tripod). CCDs doesn't handle contrast the same as film. I'm still getting used to it. It probably can be improved with a photo editing program. Thanx for the comment. Your photos captures more than just images. Thanx
