DS205 Three Times a Good Thing [explore]

Topic: Iteration or repetition of a subject makes for good composition. Look for a repeating pattern today and make a photo.

 

Initially I had wanted to, as later I realized, repeat the "The Two of Us" with a different prop. Then, my eyes looked at the cupboard with wine and liqueur glasses, so I thought about reconstructing something I saw a few months ago at Digital Photography School.

 

Strobist info: One SB900 camera left, manual at 1/128 power, bare, triggered by the camera built-in non-contributing controller. SB900 positioned in such a way that its light hit simultaneously:

 

* the subject repeated three times

* the backdrop

* a strip of white paper masked on both sides by a black foam for a touch of white "reflection" (Sean, please correct me if that's something else, e.g. diffraction, diffusion, or yet another thing ;-) on the glasses camera right.

 

Postprocessing: as expected, I increased the saturation a notch (+25), and the black point (+10)--note there is no pure black in the image--it's not needed in my opinion.
