Hmm guessing from flickr they were taken with Canon 30D with Macro lenses
Am I right??
Correct
I went out to the grocery store and bought some fruit and sprite bottle, and setup my lights and fired away

Hey, you're Matthew Clark Photography? I'm a big fan! Love the second shot.
What kind of lights do you use? If you'd be as kind as to show us a lighting diagram, I'd be ever so grateful.
Best,
wmmk
awesome pictures.
i'd love to crop and resize the sprite bottle for a background image. keep up the good work.

Hi Matthew,
Just a couple of comments- The Sprite bottle is good, but the OOF area and the line of drops at the top bother me a bit. The line naturally leads the eye right over to the OOF area where there's nothing to resolve. If you crop the image about square, then you have the large drops near the center, and a diagonal line of them moving off to the upper right, where it dwindles, but isn't out of focus- I like that composition more, though if the DoF was deeper, the original composition might work a little better.
With the groups strawberries, I think having something nearer the foreground OOF would help give the eye a bit more interest, and the images a bit more depth. Most Western folks read left-to-right, and in this case, the focal point of the image is over on the right at the "end" and if we try to go back to the beginning, we're left with something that doesn't resolve. It may simply be that flipping the image "fixes" the composition though.
The lighting is great, and overall the images are nice, those are just the things I'd do to improve them.
Very nice shots, especially the second one.
I was shooting earlier today, and I realized that I would really like a macro lens. Does anybody have any suggestions? I shoot with a Nikon D70.

Tamron 90mm SP or whatever they're calling it these days, the old one is awesome, the new one is supposed to be even better.
I want to say THANK YOU for all the wonderful comments and suggestions, I am still learning everyday! All I can tell myself is to keep shooting!
but here are some new studio shots from Friday:
I plan to take more this week, any ideas of what I should take photos of? Suggest!!

Nice shots!
Care to post your lighting/background setup??
And BTW the time on the clock is wrong.!

I'm curious. Is there an intent behind them? They're properly exposed strawberries, but is there anything more to the shots? My questions come from seeing a lot of photos all of the time, but without something that lets me know a photo is definitely a "insert your name here" photo, it begins to run together as simply stock imagery.
