Testing Out the Poor Man's Budget Studio Set-up
Lens: Pentax A 50 2.8 Macro Camera: K-30 ISO: 800 Shutter Speed: 1/500s Aperture: F4 
Posted By: Julie, 12-04-2012, 09:18 PM

I hope Santa brings me some wireless flash triggers this year... my room starts to smell like something is burning after a few minutes with these old lamps on.




If anyone is interested, my lighting set-up was pretty simple and cost $11.
Snowglobe was sitting atop of a box covered with a cashmere sweater and red star-shaped confetti sparkles.
Behind it was a Bretford lightbox.
Above was a light source directed down.
Another light source coming in from my left.

I am kind of proud of how it turned out.
I just wish that I had used a higher aperture for larger DOF...

Looks great to me, Julie - you got a lot of bang for the buck.

some good lighting came out of the $11 set-up.
Is it just me or the image is a tad tilted to the right?
