MISSION: MISSION: Photograph any subject using Low Key lighting technique.
WIT: Initially this was a challenge for me and I spent a few days wondering about how I should approach this. Then it hit me that I had been screwing around with a "light box" of sorts for a few weeks (check out my set: The Black Box). It's the most basic set up I could come up with: a bunch of pieces of black foam board nailed together (for easy disassembly).
For this shot I wanted to focus on something mundane - even boring everyday things can look spectacular under proper lighting and with a tight crop. I started grabbing random things around my house: an orange, a package of barbeque sauce, etc. Nothing was coming out to my liking until I grabbed a handful of swabs. Something about the way they catch the light is really appealing to me.

All afternoon the Orange Tips flew past, but not a one settled for a photograph, until right near the end of our wak this male decided to pose briefly.

89/365 - ballet never really was my thing, I did tap and jazz...but I always wanted to have some toe shoes!!!
P.S. Don't steal my images!
I worked today at my mom's business (where she so conveniently fits and sells toe shoes) so I got to play around for my 365 today and get pretty cliche :)
Oh well, it's a Monday and I'm currently on the Bench Monday bandwagon, which I think is okay for now.
I'm going to go for now and continue editing photos from this weekend and the Outlaws game, lol. yes I'm slow :) or just lazy? Or just a procrastinator?
This one is an out-take. I tied each glass together with a fishing line near the base. The idea was to pull over all three glasses at the same time (to the right), but when I pulled the line broke, and only the blue glass actually fell over. I kinda like it though. A happy accident.
Lighting Info: 580 EX II on full power camera right shot into an umbrella. SB 26 on full power camera left shot through an umbrella. I used a 3'x3' sheet of black acrylic for the table and some black velvet as the background. The "glasses" are actually plastic. Good thing too, because they ended up crashing to the ground multiple times.
Next time I'm planning to put up two sheets (or white shower curtains) on the sides to act as defusers (instead of using umbrellas). I don't like the reflections of the umbrellas in the sides of the glass.
Post Processing: I cleaned up a lot of small dust specks using the spot healing and clone stamp tools in Photoshop. I also selected the background and painted it black to remove any stray specks and the fishing line.
