Dan Perovich's Cyberfront Property

1/250 sec @ f/14, ISO 400, 50 mm (EF50mm f/1.8 II)  My mom brought a box of pens for us on her visit.  Instead of throwing them out, I guess she thought we could use them.  They actually write surprising well.  I dumped the box of them onto my fiancée’s day planner to setup up this shot.  I had to strategically rearrange a few of them, but mostly it was random chaos.

The lighting setup consisted of two reflective umbrellas.  Both were set at 1/4 power.  The umbrellas were placed at opposing corners of the TV tray table on which the scene was setup.  During the shooting, I worked my way around the table and captured frames from different angles and heights.  Because of this technique, I do not remember where the flashes were in relation to the camera for this particular image.  However, for this type of cross lighting, the best lighting is usually produced when shooting at 45 degree angles to the lights.
