Reflecting On The Shadows And Curves Of A Red Pepper
Talk about an inexpensive model, and very easy to work with.
Lighting stuff: I wanted side lighting for this because light coming from the side creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. I placed the edible model on a mirror because I like the extra dimensions that are revealed by the reflection. I used a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box just out of the frame at camera right. The left side of the pepper got fill light from a small mirror. The flash, in manual mode was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant album. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
Other still life images that I've attempted are in my Still Life album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157635247182331/
