Hi all, I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me out with this problem.
Blue GlassIMGP9603-Edit by Ray. Hines, on Flickr
This is the setup I have been using for the glass shot on the right. I am trying to get a single line around the glass but am failing miserably and getting shots like the blue one, centre. The camera is set to ISO 100 Speed 1/160 and f/8. I am shooting various shots from 35mm to 70mm on a tripod. I have tried various amounts of light coming from the rear and have had the white cards held away from the glass and close to the glass and everything in between. I have tried every possible combination of focal length, white card angle and speedlight distance to the softbox. I have also set the speedlight strength from Full to 1/64. Just in case anyone thinks the softbox is on, it's not, I just use the white as a reflector for the speedlight.
Is it me or the glass? Any help appreciated. You can click the image to see a larger version on Flickr.
Thanks
Ray
