excellent staged shot.
peace.
btw- thanks for the compliment. your shots are always well carried out (ie you know what you are doing). I enjoy everyones photos for different reasons. much talent is to be found upon the board. good job everyone!
hah. I'll post the original of that one. I um, was a bit, um, chemically altered when I took that shot (it's for a design comp), and wasn't feeling like lugging my light rig up 7 flights of stairs, so i decided to just go with available light and see if I could pull it off without the lights and the background. So here's the original shot. Haha.
When life gives you sour grapes... make wine, right?
For this one, I just used the two lights in the hallway of our band's practice studio.
That said, I do have a background setup made from PVC pipe (costed like, 20 bucks) and I use a Smith Victor light kit that was relatvely inexpensive ($250ish for 1500w of continuous lights, umbrellas, case, stands and a boom) but I do wanna get some strobes sometime in the future. Though these ROCK for product shots.
