Garlic Shapes And Shadows
From time to time, I like to exploit my food, in addition to eating it. I like the shapes and textures of this garlic and decided to emphasize those qualities using side lighting.
Lighting stuff: I placed the garlic on a piece of black perspex, and then lit it from the side with a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera right. Fill light came from a small hand held mirror at camera left. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I converted the image to black and white using Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro 2.
Other black and white images that I've attempted can be seen in my Black And White Album.
