Challenge: Single Light Source III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 28mm f/2.8
Location: My bed
Date: Nov 6, 2007
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/125
Galleries: Studio
Date Uploaded: Nov 6, 2007



28mm and f/11 gives me enough DoF so that it does get that super shallow "macro" look.

Lighting is the Sunpak 333 at low power with Lumaquest softbox from directly overhead. A notebook for a flag to block light from the background and a hand mirror to provide some fill from the side, finish off the lighting.

I've done this shot before, but didn't get to enter it in the "Power" challenge. Might do better here than it would have there.

Post-processing, other than the border, cropping, resize and sharpening is all RAW conversion.

Woody looks like he's really enjoying his book. Pose is really quite nice (except I'm trying not to look at the hands that look like horse's hooves) and reminds me of a kid lost in an adventure. Like the lighting, too. Have to say this is one of the best Woody pix I've seen in a very long time.

I like the placement of the light source, it seems to light up the scene almost perfectly

Nice Pic. I know who made it, because it was on your website. No vote. Would have been 7 or 8

Nice lighting though
