Macro Mondays - Beatles/Beetles - Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

For this week’s Macro Mondays theme of ‘Beatles/Beetles’ I have chosen to depict the Beatles song Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown). The song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and was first released on the album Rubber Soul in December 1965.

 

The ‘link’ in the image is the pinecone (from one of the pine family of trees - pine, spruce, fir, cedar etc), which is synonymous with Norway and the piece of bark which I picked up during a recent walk. The background is an artificial spruce Christmas tree. Needs must as they say!

 

For this shot, I have used 2 Bowens Gemini Esprit lights. The main light (camera left) is a GM250 fitted with a large softbox. The second is a GM125, which was placed above and to the rear of the subject. Another very simple lighting set-up!
