A cucumber slice

I got some new photo gear and did this with it:...and also this:I've been wanting to get some lighting gear for awhile, but kept stalling because I wasn't sure what to choose. I finally had an epiphany. If I buy "real" lights here I may not be able to use them easily in the States due to voltage issues, which should be easy to resolve but in my experience, aren't. Therefore: time for a small assortment of Speedlite stuff.The first shot was done with the slice of cucumber sitting in a glass bowl, sitting right on top of a Lumiquest Softbox III that was pointing straight up. I just erased some errant lines and voila. The second shot was the same light mod, just pointed horizontally right into my lens with Lefteris holding the cuke.
