Glass and Apple

Last week I bought a dinky tripod for $4 at a thrift store (I haggled him down from $7). Now I can take pictures without flash and with slow shutter speeds that aren't too blurry. I took this same shot both with the flash and without--this is the 'without' shot. They were very different. I like the way the light is coming from behind the glass in this picture. In the other one the light was shining on the glass, rather than through it--that made it kind of flat and lifeless.
