Day 342: Difficult

I haven't done a glass picture for a while, so it seemed like a good idea to try a dark field shot with a twist.

 

Lighting is from a wide softbox behind, with Canon 540EZ on full power, triggered by radio. The middle part of the softbox, behind the glass, is masked with black, and the exposed parts at the sides covered with coloured cloth (blue/green on the left, red on the right).

 

The base was black, and the sides also flagged with black cards, but there are still lots of spurious reflections I couldn't control in the limited time I had to set up, shoot and clear away.
