Challenge: Candy (Classic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-10D
Location: Long Island, NY - My dining room table
Date: Apr 13, 2003
Aperture: f/19
ISO: 100
Shutter: 2 sec
Galleries: Humorous, Still Life
Date Uploaded: Apr 13, 2003

 Shot on my (gray smoked glass) dining room table with a Canon 28-70L and one Alienbees B400 strobe aimed upward through the glass (and away from the backdrop). Backdrop was a black sheet about 4 feet behind the table. 2 second exposure - shutter triggered strobe, and during the exposure I manually shot off a flash at 1/128th power to light it up a bit from above as well.

Lu-u-u-ke! Wonderful focus on this macro. Especially like the use of the mirror, it really adds to the whole.

cute and original idea. The head in the foreground takes away from the 2 in the back though.

Cute idea! Main subjects are nicely focused. Interesting use of glass and lighting from below (that said, I'm not too crazy about the extra figures created by that reflection). I think the foremost Storm Trooper is excessive and tries to dominate the frame. 8 Rob the Swash

The symbolism is fantastic. I don't like the mirror much, though.
