Playing with Toy Car using One Light

[bivanh]

Hi guys,
This is my first thread here in DPS. So this is it. My BMW die-cast toy car model.
It was taken on top of the table in my living room.
I use my trusty Nikon D40 (actually it's the only camera that I have) with 18-55 mm lens.
I set my shutter speed to 1/250 to kill the ambience and set my apperture to 16 so I can get enough Depth of Field (DoF).
I use flash positioned at the right side of the camera, shot through a diffuser. And on the left side I put a reflector.
Not much post processing done to this picture, I only adjust the curve and the saturation, crop and add watermark.
I like the lighting for this pict, but I think I could use one or two more extra speedlite to sculp the light even more.

Feel free to visit my blog,Lighting Journey, to see further explanation and the setup shot for this picture.
Cheers,


Ivan

At first glance it looks like a real car. Lighting is everything! Good job.

Can't agree more. Lighting is everything.

Nice work. I too thought it to be a real car on first look.
