This is my first request to seek the opinion of others, but I guess you gotta start somewhere. Well, I, like many are probably bored indoors with nothing to shoot outside (cold and dead). Anyways, I thought I'd give my new 10D a few clicks and found the only appealing thing in my room, some almost rotten bananas. I know they aren't the most delicious looking subjects, but hey, they're interesting.

I tweaked around with the color balance to get a sepia, and black and white look, I think better than the yellow of the original. Can everyone please give me a few more pointers on shooting studio like pictures? like lighting, etc. (btw, I don't have a studio, just 2 pieces of paper and a desk lamp... still trying to get the hang of things).

I think i would like to see the yellow... when i saw the title of the post i thought.. ohhh wow yeah.. how exciting... old banana pictures (and NO i am not being sarcastic)... why didn't i think of that... So yeah.. i think i would have liked to see this in color.. also i think the bananas have such great texture and color, that i think perhaps a wider DOF could be in order.... i think you should challenge yourself to shoot some more.. perhaps 30 different banana poses.. and see what you come up with... i think you could get something good.

Unfortunately, my bananas are all black now...:(
I'll have to buy some more.

I'll try this with another fruit type.
