In my previous post I mentioned that I would talk a bit about how I shot the blood orange image. I will talk about the set up and then the post processing today.
A note about my equipment for this shot:
- Canon 30D
- EF 100mm 2.8 USM macro lens on manual focus
- manfrotto tripod
- ambient light through a sheet of white sheer polyester fabric (bright sunny mid-day sun)
- Various styrofoam blocks to use as structural light bouncers
- small mirror (very clean)
- blood oranges
- plastic ice from Wal-Mart (They call them “table jewels”, I call them cheap and great ice models)
- water
- poster-sized white foamcore board (for movable light bouncing)
- Photoshop CS2, PS Camera RAW, and Bridge
- Flickr-based DxO modifier - get the software or a demo here
