As usual, alone out here away from home, I just have to keep myself busy. Its at the end of winter and its still cold out there. Very Cold especially at night-time.  Still suffering from jet lag, I was wide awake at three in the morning.  The hotel that I am staying in have amenities - like a kitchenette...a well equipped one!!

What came to my mind are some still life shots of some groceries that I have bought earlier during the day.  Well, budgeting the period of shoot to be about an hour or two, by the time the shoot would be all over might just be time fro breakfast.  So I decided to make a Sandwich and then take a photo of it.

I decided to target for two shots. 

1) One shot of the Red tomatoes that is currently in the freezer for lighting trials.

Details:
This will just be a simple shot of three tomatoes lining-up on the top of the kitchen counter.  Back light by a bright source of light or backdrop.  Another light source will be used as the flexible fill-in.

2) A still life shot of a Sandwich. Yummy Sandwich for Break fast!!  Self Ordered, Self-made!!

Details:
The photo of the Sandwich will be taken using the light setup that has been fixed in the first rounds of tomato shoot.  The Sandwich must look Delicious!!! Obviously. Lighting position needs to create:

-  highlights to show some oily and waxy surface from the fish-patty and from the tomato and onion.
-  3-D effect for realism and depth
-  Lively Colors
