Colorfully haphazard !!

Colorfully haphazard !!

March 25th, 2010  |  Published in EXPERIMENTS  |  43 Comments

I was scared to death when taking the picture of these cups. This is my wife’s favorite cutlery and if had I broke this then – god save me !!

Strobist Info:

I used a 580 EX II on camera left shot directly on the cups to avoid glare. I used a white foam sheet on the right side of the cup to fill the shadows. You can see the reflection of the sheet on the cups. I used another lens with a blue gel shot pointed on the background shoot through a snoot. The picture was shot using a canon T1i and a 100mm macro lens.

    I love that fact that when I saw this photo, I just had to make you a contact, love your work with colors, light and smoke, then checked the Explore page to find this photo there…. no surprise.

    Congrats ! Well deserved.

    Great shot.. Lens makes all the difference!!

    Good you got away without breaking any of those! The light in the background of these cups, the hotspot – could that have been done away with?

    Seen in my contacts’ photos. (?)
