Nutcracker
My niece gave me this hand made nutcracker for Christmas a couple years ago and I always wanted to use it as a subject for a picture--maybe even use the image as a cover of a Christmas card someday. I took a few shots today to see what I could do with it.
The image was captured at ISO 100 for 1/8 second at f/2.8 with a Sony A850 camera and Sony 70-200mm lens at 70mm. I positioned the subject in front of the Christmas tree with his back facing the window to get the rim lighting on his hat and positioned a Sony HVL-F58AM remote flash camera left to light his face under his brim. Flash was triggered wirelessly with Pocket Wizards.
