Lighting 102- Assignment - Cooking Light
When I first read this assignment, I thought, "cool, this is right up my alley." I love cooking and our kitchen is filled with "tools." It was more difficult than I expected because I was trying to make a photograph that looked like something out of a Williams-Sonoma catalog. I changed the subject, the lighting, the composition, etc. and just wasn't really happy with the results. I was also frustrated because the idea is to use lighting to make things more interesting. I was not happy with the subject and composition so I never really got to play around with the lighting.
This shot consisted of an SB900 shot through an umbrella CL. The strobe was 1/8 power and zoomed to 50mm. I also used a silver/gold reflector CR to help lift the shadow area between the measuring cup and spoon. The reflector also made for a better highlight on the handle of the measuring spoon.
One of the difficult things I learned with this shot is the reflection of the lens was obvious unless I positioned the lens in the space between the the measuring cup and spoon. At least there, the reflection from the cup bounced into the spoon and vice-versa. I also learned that our measuring cups and spoons are well-worn so the whole "catalog product shot" would probably require new items. I'll just say I was going for the "broken in" look.
Lastly I made the shot B&W to try and bring out the texture in the wood cutting board and rolling pin. On camera, the colors of the wood appeared similar. I would have preferred a darker cutting board or rolling pin. Since I didn't have either, I figured the B&W would break up the similar colors by bringing out the different textures.
As usual, I am open to criticism and critique. I am not thrilled with this shot (or any I took) so I will add this to the list of things I'd like to try again.
