Friends gave the two bell peppers and the grape tomatoes to me that they had picked from their garden. It had been years since I had eaten home-grown vegetables. As a test, I ate a grape tomato I had bought from a large grocery store chain and then I ate a grape tomato grown in the garden. I couldn't believe how much better the garden-grown tomato was.
Setup
The tabletop is a serving plate. A medium and large continuous-light lamp, both fitted with a diffusion sock, were overlapping each other above the scene. I would have preferred using my strip softbox instead of the two lamps but I was short on time and mounting it above the scene in my tiny makeshift studio would have taken more time than I had.
