Red on Blue
Day 228 of 365
My niece brought a set of these tiny magnetic balls with her on her travels, and graciously arranged them into a cube for me. After shooting a wide image of the entire cube, I realized it was not that interesting. Upon zooming in to check for focus, I decided that the depth of field was more intriguing than the cube as a whole. In the end, I used about one-sixteenth of the image here. As for the lighting, there is a strip bank, almost above, but slightly to camera-right. I then placed a beauty dish directly above, and it delivers most of the nice white rim on top. There is a bounce board at camera-left, reflecting the light from the strip bank. Next, there is a ring flash on the camera, providing the tiny dot in the middle of the spheres. Lastly, my Light Blaster is projecting a swirly image of something on the background, and I added a CTB to make for a more interesting color contrast. Once again, I went in with one concept, and walked away with another. That's life! Thanks for rolling by!!
