Dirty Gray
Wanted to mess around today with a dirty gray on white photo. So I started by underexposing the white table to get me the color I was looking for. Once I was happy with that I started to light the chocolate covered almonds starting from camera right.
Once I felt I got enough contrast between the top of the almonds and the table I took another softbox and placed it camera left to slightly lift the shadows caused the the softbox on the right.
Wanting to break up the sea of gray I then decided to gaffer a speedlite on a chair and have it cut it's light right across the top portion of the frame.
I admit it's a bit funky but hey, we all need to experiment.
Strobist info: 580EX II 1/32 softbox camera right | 430EX 1/64 softbox camera left | 550EX 1/128 pointed down on table high camera left
Camera info: Canon EOS 1D Mark III | Canon EF 70-200mm ƒ/2.8L IS USM @ 185mm | 1/300 ƒ/8 ISO 800
