playing with lights

[voodoocat]

Got my remote flash trigger on ebay for $14. Trying out some simple lighting setups. If my camera is at 6, the flash is pointing down at a 30 degree angle at 2 o'clock. To the left is a poster board adding the highlights on the left side.

I think that's pretty good. The jar on the far left seems to have a lost a little detail; was that intentional with the posterboard? That little hot spot on the shoulder of the far right jar doesn't especially bother me; how do you feel about it?

I wanted to add a bit of form to it with the reflector which added that white reflection. The hot spot doesn't bother me either

So what you're basically saying is that you kicked ass here. :mrgreen:

Well, you usually do.....

Thank you terri Anything you would like to see improved?
I'm thinking of building a softbox and throwing the polarizer on to get rid of that hot spot.

Excellent! Please to explain why a remote trigger is needed. I must say the I use tungsten lighting (don't laugh, it works just fine) so basically the whole electronic flash deal has passed me by. Then again for 14 dollars how can you go wrong.

I also have to say that I have built soft boxes out of foamcore. They work well, but they get banged up pretty easily.
