Thanks to those who visited my blog recently and started following my ramblings. I hope to keep this interesting and informative with all my quirky experiments with different things. Please feel free to comment and give me feedback, so I can keep improving.
And yes, I truly am tired. Went shopping after work and was stuck in traffic for over an hour.
I used Tic Tac (and in case you're wondering, I ate them all once I finished with my shoot) and put them on the white foam core board I have.
What started off as this (grayish because of the fluorescent lighting despite the CWB):
Turned into this:
And then, this:
... with the lights out.
If you look carefully, the blue image has quite a bit of vignetting (dark edges), but the bottom one doesn't have as much. That's because, the light from the iPod (I was holding it steady just above the tic-tacs) in the blue image falls off pretty close to the subject.
However, noticing the dark edges, I tried to eliminate that by moving the light around to the corners as much as possible, without throwing the "T" into too much shade. And by moving, I mean literally moving the light all over the subject while the shutter was open, like I'm painting the subject with the light.
Upon reviewing, I found that the pink one still had quite a bit of dark edge in the top left corner, whereas the bottom right corner was pretty well lit.
I guess I will have to work on this again soon. The small source of light is the reason this is happening. I might try keeping the overhead light on the next time around, and see what results it yields.
