52/2012 - Give us your best shot: week 7
I think I have resolved my lighting issues. At least for some things. I found the answer in the bathroom. :) My white bathtub is surrounded by white tiles. I put a towel over the window to stop stray light from that source, taped a white piece of poster board behind the glasses on the tile wall in the tub, used my flash from below the set up to bounce off the white and I think it works. I did have to clone out a couple of light bits from the bathroom light on 2 of the glasses but otherwise no stray light and reflections to speak of. Until I get where I can set up another studio of sorts, this will do.
I know this has been done to death really. I've done this shot a few times in the past myself. But I haven't done it with this many glasses and it does fit the challenge so nicely so overdone or not, here it is again. :)
I found these great glasses at a thrift shop a while ago for a few cents each. They are really shot glasses only holding a couple of ounces each, but I suspect I'll get a fair bit of use out of them. It is doubtful however, that they will be used for their intended purpose so much. This is their third appearance already. I also used them in my heart project for my first and seventh shot. :)
