Strobist - Cooking Light

Strobist - Lighting 102 Assignment - Cooking Light

 

I took this shot for the Strobist Lighting 102 "Cooking Light". If you're reading this you probably already know the idea - shoot something found in your kitchen and control the specular highlight coming off it.

 

The setup:

 

Shot @ 1/250 at f/9 to kill the ambient light. 580EXII Speedlite high and at camera right. Diffused with a home-made softbox and with a half-cut of CTO to warm up the scene a bit. My fiance's make-up mirror is just left of frame providing the tiniest bit of fill to the orange.
