product stuff?

L3 Had a go at sorting some tabletop lighting excercises. Once I got started, and found some stuff to photograph, I quite enjoyed the fun aspects. Once you start you really get to see loads of different things, look forward to doing some more. I also hoked up my laptop to get a bigger view of what I was taking, with awireless remote.

I started with the tin, then the pot, then the cup. Love the individuality? Subtle movement of the lighting makes a huge difference, even with my silly little table lights. Need more power.

At this point I realised I was still shooting on P!

Getting better, must be the subject! and Manual. Forgot to use my light meter though! Time to sort out backdrop I think. Compare with the previous; the bottles are closer together(lesson from Steve the other day-don't leave gaps), and the writing is illustrated a bit better, and lighting a bit lighter, with some from behind. Theme is start, finish, crash!

These 4 are from the beginning? some muppet downloaded them in the wrong order! Not a bad start as I have not done this before. The guy on the left is a nut cracker.
