I had the hardest time photographing these blueberries and strawberries. I tried every setting on my camera, natural lighting, over head lighting, flash lighting. Put them on the table, put them on the counter. Nothing got the colors right. This was the best I could do. Any pointers on what I did wrong?

Week Twenty

130/365
Artem was reading his books in his room and when he was finished I asked him to clean them up. A minute later he was in the kitchen telling me he was all done cleaning. This is what I found when I went in his room. In his defense, I tell him all the time that I must be able to see the spine of the book and technically, I can see the spine of the books. :)

No picture today, since I was halfway over the Atlantic ocean. :)

Clearly the jet lag is bothering Artem and he is NOT in the mood to have his picture taken.
