ISO 200 f/11 1/50th of a second 90mm Macro Lens: Studio Lighting conditions
Last night I posted a photograph of this beaded bead
which was created by my wife Nancy. That photograph
was taken with the same lens and nearly the same
settings as these are, with one major difference. This
series is lit primarily from inside of the bead, with a single
umbrella outside. The designer of the bead, Florence Turnour,
left a comment on my previous post;
"Those photos are beautiful. One thing I love about this bead
design is how hollow it is. Any idea how to capture
that in a photograph? Just some food for thought."
I did start thinking about it and this is what I came up
with. I fashioned a "snoot" out of black photo background
paper, which allowed me to concentrate the light under
the bead, and then added a single umbrella on
the outside, bracketing the exposure I came up with
these results
Fantastic! I love the first picture. It features both the roundness and the hollow center of the bead beautifully. Thank you for sharing your work, and Nancy's beautiful bead.
