This was an excercise to make a colour picture, where the colour is really what makes the picture and the subject is reasonably ordinary.
The bottles are sitting on top of a glass sheet, which is on top of a black piece of paper. The B/ground light is a 300W tungsten, which has been softened by tracing paper, hanging off a broom stick. The blue light, is the television set turned to a non channel.
excellent image, I believe you achieved the goal of the assignment. I also appreciate you adapting nontraditional light sources. What produced the extreme warm tones from the background light...just using the "wrong" light source for the film?
Mick, great and imaginative use of colored light in this still life. The regular film and tungsten light source worked out well. Shapes and balance are nice and complement the shot. Just goes to show that spending a lot of money on lighting is worth it, sometimes. Best |-) tim
Thank you all for the comments. Firephoto, the tungsten light at the rear with daylight balance film produced the warm image.
Tim, I don't really have too much money for lighting, the tungsten light is a very, very secondhand lamp, the TV isn't too flash either!
Dave, I agree about the reflections, in fact this is the wrong picture that I uploaded, this is a straight from the scan image, I did a basic sharpening (once) from this and that looks very much like the original print. I don't have any aftermarket software, only what came with the very cheap Aldi scanner.
Allen, it is hanging on a wall.
Mick.
