Angkor and peonies
Still life with a statuette from the Great Temple of Angkor–Vat, some leather–bound books from the 19th century, and a Chinese lacquered box. In the background, a seascape by Schlitz from the 1980s.
Strobist and technical: One Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a Profoto light stand in Rembrandt position to camera right, 1.5 meters from subject and 1.3 meters above it, firing at 1/16 power through a Phottix Pro 80–cm Raja Deep parabolic softbox with double diffuser; and another Indra500 studio strobe on a Profoto light stand in backlit Rembrandt position to camera left, 1.5 meters from subject and 0.5 meter above it, firing at 1/8 power through a 110–cm Luna octabox with double diffuser.
Strobes set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 hotshoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources. Gitzo GR3543XLS tripod with Arca–Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 camera body, Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens.
Composite shot made of 12 focus–stacked exposures, using the built–in function on the Nikon Z7. Stack processed with Helicon Focus, Method C.
These first two photos, taken in November 2019, are the first I re–upload from 2019. All subsequent ones for a while will also be from that year, until I reach 2020, then 2021. I will need to keep the pace of 10 pictures per day until I finish catching up with current work, thank you very much in advance for bearing with me. I know it’s too many photos each day, however I do not have a choice...
