Greetings,
Finally finished building this project which in hindsight was a good thing, gave me a couple of years to play with lighting
One of the more difficult pieces I've shot due to the glass and shiny brass.
Any and all combinations of lights shining on the case resulted in multiple bands of reflections on the weights. Finally I took the covers off my softboxes and used two B1600's reflected off the ceiling.
Even with a Circular Polarizer there is still some floor reflections in the glass and if this was a paid shoot I would have placed a sheet of brass to the side, notice the reflection of my jointer in the pendulum...
Seeing so may variations of reflections I decided I liked the "propeller" on the clock face and the single reflection on the weights.
I've also decided to leave the shadows on the three quarter profile shot
Cheers, Don
