1/8 sec @ f/1.8, ISO 800, 50 mm (EF50mm f/1.8 II)
Yesterday I had some new gear delivered. The new gear consisted of a gray background, thirty inch reflector disc and a reflector disc light stand holder. I wanted to play around with the light disc tonight and thought that using it in the basement to control the light from the recessed lighting would be a good exercise. I set the mug up on the dry bar and played around with the reflector disc until I liked the lighting.
In post production, I used Nik Silver Efex Pro to apply an antiqued look to the photograph. I felt it was appropriate due to the age of the mug.
A self-proclaimed tech-geek, I enjoy anything powered by batteries or electricity. I'm not happy until I understand the full potential of any new gadget I get my hands on....
