30 Day Photography Challenge, Day 5: Floating

Berry Angel Food Cake from Hays Market

I'm very glad this challenge fell on a Saturday so I could really take my time and get the idea that was in my head on camera. I wanted this to really look like it was floating - not falling - which was tricky! I tried a lot of different techniques that I've read about online to get the fruit suspended in air - toothpicks, needle and thread, glue, putting them on glass and just dropping them. After a couple of hundred photos, this is the final composite image that I put together in Photoshop!

I am also very thankful that the bakery in Hays Market sells angel food cake so I didn't have to spend my entire morning baking and whisking a million egg whites!
