Clean Coal Revolution

Day 177 of 365

"Clean Coal Revolution"

 

I've had this concept swirling in my head for months.....but I didn't have any charcoal. I then realized that I had a bag for my carnivores' potting mix. Our key light is an Octa, almost directly above. I had to move it around, as I was creating unwanted specular highlights at times. With the phone opened at this angle, no light was reflecting back into the lens. Then, directly above the charcoal is a snooted speedlight. You really have to pump quite a bit of light into a handful of charcoal. It just sucks up the light! As for the background, it is lit by a speedlight at very low power. I just wanted a kiss of light to bring up the exposure on my grey canvas background. I was quite happy with how the black tile just vanished into the background. I added the fonts in post. Thanks for chuggin' by!!
