Nice DOF, but looks a bit too contrived.

It seems too set-up to be true to your title in my opinion.

Howzat guys,

Thanks for all the comments!

Truth be told, I only had the 18-55mm lens, so I had to get really really close to the action.

My first few attempts left everything full of oil (luckily I have a UV filter), and I also burnt my head quite a bit!

:)

After a few rounds, It was just too dark, so I moved the elctric pan outside into the sun, and shot it there. This time round, however, I used a plastic bag around my camera, leaving only the UV filter exposed.

Still, couldn't use a tripod as I had to get very close, and I also had a lot of burning oil all over my face which wasn't particularly pleasant.

I wanted to submit this one, But the popcorn wasnt completely in focus, unfortunately.

Popcorn2

I agree with the comments that it wasnt the best crop, and it was a bit of a pity that the one that did pop, was out of frame, but after being covered in oil, and having a brand new 350D that smelt like a fish and chips shop - I had to throw in the towel.

:)
