One of our LUG followers said he liked this image, but the background detracted from the subject. So, I promised to
do a second shoot. To eliminate the distractions, I chose the Leica Elmarit-R 90mm, shot wide open at f/2.8. This
was shot from an old Star-D tripod using a cable release. Yes, the Fuji X-E1 has a screw-in cable release socket.

I like this a lot better. Not only is the background uncluttered and neutral, the different direction of light
illuminated the utensils from side front, instead of side rear, so tonal detail and color are better.
I also rather like the reflection of the slotted spatula in the chrome cake
server.
An apparently very simple classic still life, but the lighting and background
make a huge difference.
