Mash mash mash

I set today aside to practice my lighting, with a big thanks to all the tutorials at strobist. The goal was to control the reflections in a shiny object. The challenge is that everything a shiny object sees, it reflects which is pretty much a disaster in most photos (reflects you, the camera, the window, and so on). That's why it's important to NOT photograph naked. Just kidding. I adapted this setup and came up with this. I know the composition sucks, but I was mostly trying to control those shiny bits, and I'm pretty happy.



Spent a little time Wednesday hanging out in the park in Carrigaline, shooting flowers. These are for me, not stock, and are outrageously out of focus. No mind, I love 'em.
