Chickpeas in Side Light
Dry chickpeas form a diagonal bank inside a transparent shop hopper, illuminated from one side against a subdued background.

Observational editorial photograph, 4:5 portrait. Close eye-level crop of one clear bulk-food hopper in a small refill shop, its lower half holding dry beige chickpeas with a naturally uneven diagonal surface. The grain bank is the clear focal point; empty transparent space above gives the composition breathing room. A narrow shaft of real afternoon sunlight entering through a doorway strikes from the left like a side-stage beam, illuminating one band of chickpeas and the hopper edge while the rest remains softly shaded. Include just enough of the plain dark shelving behind to establish a believable shop. Straight verticals, restrained reflections, ordinary irregular chickpea shapes, natural exposure and warm neutral colour. 50mm lens, sufficient depth of field to keep the contents clear. No rearranged props, artificial grain, HDR or exaggerated detail. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
