wow! incredible!!! how you did it? Share!!! How you got so white background? That's an amazing shot like all those in stock photo. sites!
 
Pete, this impresses me MUCH.
Reminds me of the DorlingKindersley books that I love so much, and of their sharp and clean photographic illustration. I always like just the object and the white background in those, too!!! Only there they are in colour. But the b+w is perfect here! WOW.

Well, as you would expect, reflections were a challange. I surrounded the pots with white seemless paper and cut a whole for the lens. Burnt through some Polaroid checking the reflections and ratio. Color balance was tricky too (yup, Corinna... it's color!), so I got as close as I could using CC filters and OF COURSE... tweeked it in Photoshop.

Thanks for all the kind words!

Oh, there are so many things that I can appreciate. Helps me to see an awful lot more about someone than you would credit. ;)
