The Stone Hippo

This is a stone carving of a hippopotamus that's been hanging around in our living room, and was ready for exploitation.

 

Lighting stuff: I first placed the carving on a piece of black Perspex. The main light was a YN560-III in a Rogue grid at camera left to create the side lighting that would create the shadows that reveal contours, shapes and textures. Fill light came from a YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera left. The strobes, in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. Down below in the first comment you can see a picture of the setup.

 

Other still life pictures that I've taken are in my creatively named Still Life set.
