Ps. Do you have photos of the set up?  I'd love to see how you had it all worked out. Especially the lighting. |
No, I totally forgot to take the set-up photo.
I had one light lighting the background through a screen with circles cut out to get the mottled effect. This light was also flagged to split the light to illuminate the left side of the set. Another light was coming in from behind to backlight the bottle and glass, and one more light was lighting from the front, camera right. I also had to use numerous gobos, flags and reflectors to shape the light to illuminate shadow areas and cut light in other areas. I didn't realize my white backdrop was too small until it was too late. It doesn't matter, as I got an 'A' anyways...I think the instructor missed it.
PS....I have an opportunity to buy a Nikon D3 with the new 24-70mm f2.8....should I jump ship? Tempting.........
