Autumn pine cones
14

To get soft, shadowless lighting, I used a diffused light overhead, plus a small softbox right, and a small gridded light on the left....all LED lighting.  Just an attempt to capture some of the character of the season.

Thank you

Looking at the "photos" link for this forum, I would hope more people will post their still life photos or product photography. I have found them to be challenging -- content, composition, lighting, etc. are all important.

Re: Autumn pine cones

nice, especially the leaves, did you oil them or something?

Thanks.  No, I think the gridded light causes the reflections.
