Under the sea....of lighting and reflection.
Here is a shot of my setup. ![]() Lighting used was two small flashlights to light the background and a homemade light stand (camera right) bounced off a homemade tinfoil reflector. Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi Exposure: 0.077 sec (1/13) Aperture: f/1.8 Focal Length: 50 mm Exposure: +0.35 ISO Speed: 100 Exposure Bias: 0 EV Flash: Off Taken on May 24, 2009 at 1.05am EDT

Totally ghetto setup
Background: Plates hanging by string against a black sheet (draped over an ironing board and held in place by a bottle of bleach, a toy centipede, and a bottle of hand soap) Lighting (Background): Fluorescent work light flagged by cardboard Lighting (Foreground): Left of subject (my dad) is a round makeup mirror (my mom's) with a ring light around it Reflector: Mirror and white dry-erase board to the left and slightly behind subject The Photo ![]() The Camera Specs Camera: Canon 40D Lens: Canon 85mm f/1.8 Exposure: 1/6th sec Aperture: f/4.0 Focal Length: 85mm ISO: 400 Flash: Off Date Taken: May 25, 2009 Some shadow touch ups with Photoshop |

![]() Camera: Canon PowerShot G10 Exposure: 0.1 sec (1/10) Aperture: f/8.0 Focal Length: 21.5 mm ISO Speed: 200 Exposure Bias: 0 EV Flash: Off I did not want to use a reflector only to fill-in light but to reflect an image onto another subject. Black-eyed Susan seed packet was used as a reflector. The object is a kitchen grater with a piece of gift paper under the front part. Two 60W lights were used, one of them with a piece of tracing paper to diffuse light falling on the front of the grater. The set-up is on my Flickr site. I increased saturation and exposure by 1 stop in DPP and sharpened the photo in Photoshop. |

This is my first time to post and join in the assignment.
Here is the link to my entry for this week's assignment: Ghetto Lighting + Reflector... for full size: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3619/...29b40703_b.jpg Hope this works! I'm not sure if the file I uploaded in Flickr would still have the EXIF intact. For this picture, I had several silver 10 cents form the letters I and U, then the golden pennies to form the heart (although the color of the coins didn't matter in the end). In total darkness (well, nearly total darkness), I had the pen light (emitting reddish light) positioned/angled at the side so that it will highlight the coins. I placed a white board on the other side to reflect some light onto the guitar. Any feedback is appreciated! ![]() Arigato! EXIF data: Camera Model: Nikon D60 Date taken: 5/25/09 11:45:18 PM Flash used: No Focal Length: 32mm F number: F/5 Exposure time: 5 sec Metering Mode: Spot Exposure compensation: 0 I just want to share that today, me and my boyfriend are celebrating our 30th monthsary, and I will be e-mailing him this picture (I'm in Canada, he's in the Philippines). |

The background is a piece of stain glass I have for my "other hobby". The "reflective" surface under the bottle is the shiny side of poster board.
I used a desk lamp behind the glass background and I'm holding a LED lamp set to blue directly in front of the bottle trying to center the reflection on the glass background. ![]() Camera: Canon EOS 40D Exposure: 0.6 Aperture: f/32.0 Focal Length: 61 mm Exposure: +0.65 ISO Speed: 160 Exposure Bias: 0 EV Flash: Off Exposure Program: Aperture-priority AE Date and Time (Original): 2009:05:16 15:45:49.00+08:00 |

My setup was pretty dire. I used a striped plastic folder/organizer and put it in front of the lamp. It created a nice effect. I used a still not opened pack of oslo paper as a reflector.
