Gigondas-8777-Edit-Edit.jpg
Spent a little time experimenting with off camera flash. I put this bottle on a table in my studio. I wanted it to look a little dusty as if taken from a cellar. It is lit by two Pixapro Pika200 Pro lights. One directly above fitted with a snoot; this was partly to create a small area of light on the bottle not the surrounding, and partly to try to bring out the motif on the bottle. The second light was directly in front of the bottle, fitted with a snoot and aimed directly at the lable. I took two shots, one with the second light and one without, these were loaded into PS a mask applied and the opacity adjusted to bring out the label while the rest of the image is the original shot. A radial filter was added in LR.
