Curves

I know nothing about lighting so I am so happy to be doing this course! It took 135 pictures to get to this. I started off using my new Canon 430 flash but the reflection was just too harsh no matter where I pointed the flash, at the back, the front, the side, up on the roof. So I got a lamp instead from the lightbox I made a few days ago and used that. Again, too harsh. It just looked too much like a cliche too, to me. Metal object = must have reflection from light, been done and much better than I could. So, I ended up pointing the light up at the ceiling instead and that gave a nice even light and so I ended up bouncing the flash off the ceiling too. I hope this has given it a quality that is a little original that just a plain reflection. I like how the DOF field and the light gives it a soft tone all over.

 

Canon 30D, Canon 100mm macro, reading light with UV light it, canon 430 flash and a piece of reddish paper.

 

Can you tell what this piece of equipment is?
