Title: Light, shadows, & reflections...inspired by Gary
Post by: jimiam on June 27, 2010, 07:58:07 AM
 Thought I'd try some off camera flash indoors. Trying to learn from Gary's posts.

These are excellent.  My favorite are 1 & 2 but number one with that reflection is superb.  Well-done!

Thanks Gary. 1 and 2 are my favorites also. I think the blue in number 1 is coming from the edge of the glass the flower was on. I thought I had it covered but apparently not. I still need to work the lighting a lot and learn more about white balance, but hey, this    stuff is fun!

Head on over to The Strobist, Jim.  All sorts of tips and tricks over there.  The fun part is what it's all about.  Kind of cool learning to have a little control over your light, eh?

They are all great, but the last has the feel of a 19th-century still life.  Very nice work.   That last one, with a bit of a crop, would look great in a slightly-ornate frame and olive green/cream double matting.
