Bottles
After four weeks off we return to college. This week Ian was off sick and we had another tutor.
When I walked into the studio (as this was where we were this week) there were 4 different still life set ups around the room. The setups were a bottle on a table with a light shining on to it. Each one had a different colour bottle and a different light. 3 out of the 4 lights were remote trigger flashes and the 4th was a daylight light. We were also given a light meter to read the conditions for optimal images using the M (Manual mode) on our cameras.
This is what the daylight setup looked like
When I saw this and found out that this was what we were doing today I thought "this is going to be boring". However when I started working my way around the room and working with the other students and comparing notes I found the session really interesting.
I really liked the way some of these pictures turned out and how the different lights worked in different way and gave different results.
Here is a small selection of pictures that I took over the course of the evening
F8 1/15 second
The focus on this one is half way down the bottle, so inside the bottle is in focus and the neck and wall behind are slightly out.
F11 1/60 second

F22 1/80 second
Using the overhead light you can only see the bottle and nothing else that was present in the room. Brilliant

I liked the way the light reflected on the table surface here
