Dark Ipod
A lighting experiment to see how much light I could paint back onto an image. This photo was taken at 1:20 AM. I purposely turned off every light in my house to make sure this was only being lit from a AAA powered keychain Maglite (which incidentally I use to get the camera to auto-focus in low light conditions), plus, of course the iPod itself.
Some minor cloning to get rid of the faint song displayed on the pod. If you look at the properties you'll see I tried to make it as tough as possible on the camera sensor. ISO 100, 6 second exposure. No color correction. White-balanced for tungsten.
The light pattern was made by the maglite itself to be bottom left of the camera hitting the table at an angle. Unless you focus the beam, there's a good circular area that doesn't get much light.
Strobist: Does a maglite count as off camera flash?
