Setup for "137:365 - Tea time 2"

This is a lighting setup for "137:365 - Tea time 2".

 

A tea pot full of freshly brewed tea was placed on a glass book shelf suspended above a black foam board.

 

A gray seamless paper is placed behind for the backdrop and it is illuminated with an SB-26 flash at 1/4 power through a grid spot. I also created a long snoot for it from Rosco cinefoil (black aluminum foil). Then I placed three thin strips of gels on the grid - yellow in the middle, red on one side and orange on the other.

 

Now that the background is taken care of, I placed three white foam board sheets, one above and two to the sides behind the tea pot. I put three flashes into each of them at low power (about 1/16 and 1/32 power) and used more cinefoil to control the light spill onto the background.
