Just a product shot with the K10D and the A 50/1.4 lens.

One light, with a snoot. I used paper to curl up and make the opening really small.

Yeah, I know about fire danger. I kept an eye on it and turned off the modeling light when I'd got everything positioned.
Amazing what you can do with one light!



Another view. The dark areas are for copy.



I love intense colors, and shooting glass is always interesting.

This is very sophisticated photography. Well controlled lighting of professional calibre. Not sure if Benjikan has seen this yet... I saw his ring photo in the gallery - just stunning.

Great photo!

This is nice. Now I see why one would want to control the light. Not good to have too much sparkle. Thanks for sharing.

I concur! You've demonstrated that one light can be enough if you know how to control it. I like what you've done.
