Day Four: Stella Redux

Day Four: Stella Redux

(Check out the shot onblack)

ok, since Hunny says that day 3 lacks details.  I’m redoing the shot for her(Oh yes, I try to please my audience*winkwinknudgenudge*).  I wasn’t planning on marking it as Day Four. But since they involve different techniques,with the previous one involving some very intense flashlight-fu(copyright pending) and a lot of aperture tweaking. I might as well mark this as Day Four.

I was planning on doing a shot where the outline of the bottle is highlighted with a rim light, black seamless background, and a light shining through the bottle.  Alas, I have only one speedlight, no umbrella or anything, just a stofen to diffuse my 580exII. But hey, overall I think it works ok.

Equipment used:

• Canon 50D  with 24-70mm F/2.8 mounted
• Canon 580exII Speedlight
• Black cartolina as background
• Lenovo Thinkpad as my lightstand
• A bottle of Stella Artois as subject

P.S. I would also like to thank yesterday’s bottle for acting as stand-in for today’s bottle while I was doing some light tests.  Without you, I wouldn’t be able to get that frosty look.

P.P.S.  In case you’re curious what my “studio” looks like.  Here it is!
