Creating Some Colour

As it has been so dull and overcast here for the last week, I thought it was time to clear off the coffee table studio and brighten things up around here :)

I picked up this seed head from some water reeds alongside the canal a couple of months ago, with the intention of using it for some silhouette shots, but it sat here unused until now.

So it was out with the Pringles lighting system and see what I could come up with. It would have been easier to create a sort of sunset type effect if I had fired up the speedlights, but I was feeling lazy :)

I'm also finding my way around a new camera too, so this was a good exercise to find out what some of the buttons do.

 

Even though it has been a while since I have done anything like this, I did remember to do a setup shot which can be seen below :-)
