055: Sweet Wrappers

Such bright colours. This one was another straight from the camera, another first shot got just right.
Close scrutiny reveals a curious fact: The wrappers are not solid colour [as I imagined,] but printed with their particular colour tint, plus the white text. Actually, this detail is difficult to make out in the 1600-pixel version here, but the full 3872-pixel original definitely shows the printed pattern of colour.

Settings were f/5.6, 1/180 sec, ISO 100, 50mm M42, 19mm extension, low flash, white reflector. The chocolates were arranged in an eggbox, four in each of the six dips. A simple and effective setup. The background blobs are a bit hexagonal, but that's fine by me.
