I love Ripe Persimmons and I love your ripe persimmons also Ken. How do you get your backgrounds to look like that??

Doug asked:

I use a low aperture setting Doug, usually anywhere from f/2.8 to f/6.3 but that can vary. Thanks Doug.

Thanks For the tip Ken, like I said I was using the low ISO for that (ISO400..is that low?).

Great rich and warm autumn colors and lighting. Ken, you just know how to achieve a fairy tales atmosphere.

Thanks guys. I am not sure as to whether I could call this a macro, more like a "close-up" of the fruits I would say, the more that I look at it.
