I just set up my new
softbox and reflector for the second time today to try and get an idea of how to use them for food photography.
I learned yesterday that putting the softbox closer to the food seems to work better. I had it further away yesterday and got a lot of reflected light from the side of the plate.
The photo was only taken with my phone because I didn't want to switch from the 1.8G lens on my Nikon just to take this shot.
Comments on any obvious mistakes would be much appreciated and in particular I don't understand what caused the irregular light on the table from the softbox.
Real newbie stuff I know ;-)
Thank you,
Michael
