Red Pepper In The Light - Black And White
Playing with my food again.
Lighting: I used side lighting for this shot because that kind of lighting creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. I first placed the pepper on a piece of black Perspex. The main light was a Yongnuo strobe in a gridded 24 inch soft box at camera left with the back of the soft box lined up with the front of the pepper so that the light would just skim the pepper (in theory anyway). Fill light came from a non gridded 24 inch soft box at camera right with the output of the flash one full stop less than the main light. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I converted the image to black and white using Silver Efex Pro 2.0 from Nik software.
Other black and white images that I've attempted are in my Black and White album.
