Fun experimenting

Had to find all of our lighting gear boxed up for the move from Alaska last year. This assignment: Top/bottom/right/left light at 90° angle to subject—a small perfume bottle. After many tries, I opted for top-down.

 

Photo of setup below on sixth comment or here

 

Wireless remote trigger:

(Plus X Pocket Wizard on camera)

(Plus X wireless remote trigger to Flashpoint)

 

SB 800 flashpoint off-camera on separate stand pointing straight down at 90-degree angle over perfume bottle

 

Strobe dialed down to 1/32 to eliminate hot spots

 

Honyl snoot

 

Delayed shutter timer

 

Size from left gap to right bottle:

1.75 in

4.45 cm

 

Slight crop, otherwise as shot from RAW

 

12mm extension tube

 

Fun!

 

(If I could do it over again, sure would block out the window light reflecting a bit of the fields.)
