Light book

Another daily where a bunch of us on twitter picked a common theme and today's theme is book(s). I had a few ideas in my head that I wanted to do but the one I wanted didn't pan out (you know how professional models can get).

 

So for this shot I decided to take out a photo book (Stoppees' Guide to Photography & Light) about lighting and place a speedlight right on top of it. What is funny/sad is the speedlight actually fell and broke the plastic stand. Good thing I had a spare!
