still life with apples
Tim Rudder and I decided to shoot apples to practice still life lighting. I'm not real excited about my results, but ran out of playtime for today. I wanted the light to just illuminate the rim and make it look like a flower. Didn't really like the placement of the highlights in the first shot.
Flower Appple

I wanted the highlight to be more like a ring shape around the rim after countless trial and error I finally more or less acheived it by bouncing the flash off a white card that was held very near the apple. In this setup shot you can see I used this black curtain to hide the flash itself.
