Little Apple Dolls

I found a brilliant website yesterday it's similar to the likes of tumblr, but alot easier to use. I use mine to post photography inspiration and keep track of it (since i usually forget things!)
You can see my page here :)

So, today i received some Little Apple Dolls in the post so i decided to make a start on the Objects Brief. Although only a quick set up using a light tent cube and two continuous studio lights with 5500k daylight bulbs (cheap kit i bought for home use!) so it was more of a test shoot untill i book the studio... i also have a few different ideas for backdrops rather than just white.

Setup

I shot this primarily on a Kodak NO.2 Autographic brownie, with 120 film, since i have to shoot and process a roll for Tuesday's darkroom session - so i'll post the results of that later. Although i also did a few with my DSLR for good measure.. here are some of them -

F/5.6 - 1/80sec - ISO 800
Contrast and colour adjusted in Lightroom, texture added in Photoshop.
On the left is Pestis and the right, Creo. I added a texture because i think it makes it look alot creepier, and i like this kind of distressed look. When i get my negatives back im going to try scratching into it and some other things to get this effect, i think it'll turn out alot nicer on film. I think the texture i used is from here - a great site for free textures (although i really should make some of my own!)

I decided to focus on the apple in this picture as it forces your eye more towards it so you notice there are actually nails sticking out of it.. which adds to the creepy feel.

Unedited
I have put this one up to show the difference between the edited and un-edited photos.
