Vinny brought home a couple of apples over the weekend. He put them down on the kitchen table. They were in a plastic bag. I looked at the bag, picked it up, handled the apples and got an idea.
You might be asking yourself why he bought only 2 apples but that's a story for another time. :)
I took the apples upstairs to our bedroom where I have a flat decorative mirror on top of my dresser. I set the apples on the mirror and took macro photos from different angles.
I took the first two photos using the AUTO setting on my Canon A710 IS digital point-and-shoot with the flash on. I stood off to the side so I wouldn't get a flash reflection in the mirror.
For the last shot I used a flashlight shining from the left for a different effect.
So how do you like them apples?
What will you post for Ruby Tuesday?
What will you post for Ruby Tuesday?
How about Thanksgiving decorations or foods? I consider these apples Thanksgiving-related photos because, after all, people put apples in stuffing and make apple pie for Thanksgiving dessert, right?
I look forward to whatever you want to post for Ruby Tuesday. But please sign Mr. Linky and leave a comment. You know I appreciate it.
And try to visit other participants - they love getting visitors!

Dear teach Mary,
I do like the way you have experimented with mirrors. lights and angles.
You are teaching and inspiring all the time.
Hope the apples tasted as good as they looks.
From Felisol
Thanks again for RT.
My Ruby Tuesday will be up in less than an hour, Mary!
We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Belgium, so I can't really post anything related to that. But I would not wan to miss RT because of that!
Your photo is definitely tastier than mine.
But mine's just as red!
These apples look fine, being one of many tasty red varietals, such as Rome, Fuji, Mac, and so on. The look of many even tho there is few is a nice photo effect!
Yum! I LOVE apples, especally Empires and Cortlands.
Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving in October. Our harvest occurs WAY before November. ;-)
I like the first shot the best. There's nothing more "gooder" than fresh apples.
Those are beautiful photos! I could almost taste them, and I wanted to take a big bite :O)
The last one is the best for me. Good idea ! and red :-) No Thanksgiving here in Flanders (Belgium), but of course no lack of reds.
Those apples look tasty !
Those look yummy! Mrs. Jim brought home four.
The reason Vinny only brought two was for your to do an object lesson in math. You not being a math teacher he did not want to tax your ability. So two.
Your lesson can show that two plus two equal four (2 + 2 = 4). Two on the mirror and two reflections, count them to get four.
..
Oh yes, I didn't find Thanksgiving things, we will go out to eat that day.
I don't have to add Mrs. Jim's four apples, they are four all by themselves just for the counting.
If I study my addition tables real well then next time they could serve as my Thanksgiving Ruby Tuesday subject.
..
I do like them apples and good photo study's! mine is food but not my exact idea of Thanksgiving
What a lovely idea this is.
Thanks for it all.
We don't have Thanksgiving here in Israel either so I posted something associated with Israel.
Very clever Mary, I never would have thought of that..

I love apples - nice and healthy food!
Wanna try Singapore Sling?
Happy RT!
I like how you showed the different apple options. Pretty and yummy. :D My daughter looked at them twice - Sarah does enjoy apples.
I did not post apples - I posted kids, but in some of the shots there are some Christmas balls that look like apples.
Happy day to you!
The apples are gorgeous. Way to pretty to eat.
gorgeous... love the reflection!
Nice shots of the apple Mary.
Reminds that I should really start giving my kids an apple a day. To keep the doctors away..
My daughter is currently in hospital :(
I also like them apples, Mary!
Those are creative reflection photos.
Thanks for bringing so much Ruby red to our attention!
I love the last photo! I really like how the background is dark, but the reflection is intact.
I'll bet you had a lot of fun experimenting and playing with those apples! The resulting photos are lovely.
I missed the memo about the Thanksgiving theme, but I'll try for one next time.
I love apples too! Happy thanksgiving to you Mary, God bless us always..
I love the way they seem to feed off of each other to show the beautiful red apples. a pity to eat them.
catching up! ;)
it's xmas at starbucks! check out my entry this week.
I love them apples. Wonderful shots! They look delicious too. Hope they were as good eating as they were photo subjects. Oops... I didn't do anything thanksgiving-y... except that I'm doing gratitude posts all this month, and I combined that with Ruby Tuesday, so that's thanks giving in a way...
Well done, all you need is a couple of apples and a mirror to take nice pictures.:-)
I like them apples! The last one especially. And I posted yet another photo of red, red leaves. Can't let them go, although the trees did.
Your shot gives those apples almost a mystic effect! Most intriguing!
I love mirrors and love your experiments with those beautiful apples!!
Happy Tuesday!
your apple experiment looks great. my ruby tuesday post is up.
Delicious looking apples. I like the third shot best.
No Thanksgiving holiday here, but I did go for food-related. Come see how I buy produce here in Israel :).
Those apples do look good, and the way you have photographed them is fantastic! My RT is up now, have a great day :-)
Yummy looking photos and fun how you used mirrors and a flashlight! :) Over at mine I got ruby ribbons, ancient trees and little stone lions..
Hi!
I like your apple photos. I really like the one with the flashlight shining on it. My Ruby Tuesday is posted. You can see it here:
