About the Image(s)
As they say… All things seem possible in the month of May. This image is a result of an experiment with lighting. I wanted to see if I could light a glass or two with only one strobe… and, here is the result! The image, to my eye, looks like I used two strobes… but in reality (and honestly) I only used one. A FF camera used with 24-105 lens @ 35mm, F8, 1/200, ISO 200… and one speed lite! I tried the composition with only the glasses and thought it needed a bit more for interest… and, voi la! Month of May, thank you … all things may be possible after all!

Ella, I have become accustomed to your wonderful still life images but this one is, for me, the pick of the bunch.

Ella, Another example of your skill at still life and your ability to create interesting compositions. The highlight of the image is the brilliant reflection and I would like to see more of it. Posted: 05/18/2023 14:07:29
Ella,
I tried using lights a while back but I did not adapt to using them in my work. Your images make me realize I am missing out on a way to really enhance the quality of my work.
Thank you for experimenting in May. Susan Posted: 05/23/2023 16:52:15

Ella, another interesting and wonderful still life. The string of pearls? beads? really make the image. Impressive treatment of the glass, beautifully lighted. Impressive processing overall. Posted: 05/24/2023 13:34:53
