Default Need more cowbell.

Now, I know what you are thinking. Big Deal. Cowbell. So What?

But this isn't any old cowbell. This cowbell is special.

It was photographed in my homemade light tent. And it was constructed via the instructions DPS provided here.

Aaaand it wasn't simple to create this seemingly simple photo.

Through this process I learned about Gray Cards and custom White Balance. I learned all about middle gray, Metering (Matrix vs Spot vs Center Weighted). I learned about Soft Light and Hard Light. I learned about diffusion and reflections, and families of angles.

So, there. Look at my cowbell, dammit.



Thank you for your support.

Wing.

Being a Blue Oyster Cult fan the thread title caught my attention.

Bruce, since you're from a foreign county that doesn't speak english , that is a logo from the Tampa Bay Rays US baseball team.

LOL!
Cool. Glad you stuck with it and learned a bunch!
Now you need to learn about setting color balance/levels in post (or calibration)....it's a little blue.
