Hey!

First, i hope this photo fits into the section, even if there is a little red ring and a red letter.

I am trying to improove my tabletop photos, what do you think?



Have a nice weekend!

I'd like to see a tiny bit of fill light in that massive shadow. But anyway--where did you buy that awesome lens hood from?????????

Thank you for your comment!
I bought it at audi.de, since next year, 2015, Audi and Canon make a "symbiosis"! Also DeLorian, thogether they make a Back to the Future and Photography- reunion!
Nah, just kidding, i made this myself with a carbon-wrap. You can buy this at amazon for a few lousy peanuts. It requires some exercise, but my second try was a success, and i am not very skillful

Oh nice! I have some sheets of 3M carbon fiber stickers in the garage, will try this later.

Thank you!
btw, how is this tecnique called in english, with 2 flashes/lights on each side of the subject? In german, i heard about it 5 minutes ago, it is called "Zangenlicht", "pliers light" in english. But i don't find nothing in google with pliers light, so it must be another term.

zangenlicht - Cerca con Google

I call this "dual side-lighting".
