In an attempt to get caught back up with the nearly 3 weeks of blog posts that I am behind, I will be keeping the next few weeks text entries rather short.

Today’s photograph is an emulation of a card in the Strobist Favorites Gallery Vol. 1 Trade Secret Cards set.  Unfortunately, I do not have the cards in front of me as I write this blog post so I cannot share the details such as the original photographer or title.  However, I can tell you that the subject in the original piece of art work is a basketball rather then the dog toy feature in my version.

The lighting was archived by using a long shipping tube as a snoot to direct a point of light from a strobe directly down onto the ball.  To make sure I could show the details of the lower half of the ball, I placed a second strobe flat on the ground and pointed it at the front face.
