I was really after the proper composition and took several shots from different angles and distances. I felt that this was the best out of all the attempts. Basically, I still feel there is something lacking, perhaps a bunch of grapes in front of the plate would have added more interest and an overall better photograph. I believe the exposure turned out to be acceptable at best after trying different distances using the onboard flash. Typically I use my SB-24 when needed however, I wanted to also see how the onboard flash would perform. Please feel free to offer any comments/suggestions/solutions.
Many thanks for viewing.
