Glass

1/8 @ f/22 ISO 500 Nikon D90 105mm

I created this for my portfolio. I wanted to have a scientific feel for lighting the flask. I lit the glass with two 750s on the background and one mini light with a snoot skimming the front of the glass to push light on the basil plant inside. I then added one light below the table pointed at the leaves to get a more natural feel.

I used a Farrell light to back light the entire setup, I then used a negative fill to control the highlight on the syrup. I also placed a fill on the right to light up the spheres.

I back lit the board with green gelled hot lights, I bounced light on to my object from one light source. I enjoyed using a reflective background and color to spice up the set.

This is an HDR image I created of a local artists house. He creates the sculptures you see with a chainsaw and also has a wonderfully colorful home. I used 7 images placed into Photomatix to create this.
