Our third assignment was themed as "Colors". Time for my trusty Nikon D40x, nikkor 18-135, extension tubes , table lamps, and DIY product table again!
First trial using jelly beans and sunflower seed chocolates
Jelly beans
Sunflower seeds (chocolate costed nuts) They are about
half an inch in length.
Combination on jelly beans and sunflower seeds
My final edition of jelly beans. I used the focusing in-out technique to get this
effect. You use a slow shutter and pre-focus on the subject.
Focus it in (Max focus) and click the shutter. Now while
waiting for the shutter to close you smoothly focus out until the shutter closes.
The jelly beans here were placed on top of a bond paper
on a glass table and I placed a table lamp under it and another one on top.
I won 2nd place here. :)

No problem Jen and Darlyn it's my pleasure to share my experiments and photos.
Great job! I love that you are so resourceful -I try to explain to people that it doesn't take a fancy set up to create great lighting, it takes a good eye and some creativity.
Yup! You tend to be more creative when you don't have the budget! ;D
