On day 2 of learning, I was busy clicking this saffron today morning. After reading Sandhya's post on Clicking on White, i tried this, keeping what all i grasped from her post.
First i tried using a yellow board for the background, somehow didn't like the way pictures turned. Then changed to White board,
Shot using Nikon D5100, 50mm (f/1.8) ISO 100, Manual mode 1/40 s, f/3.5
