P.S. Had a bit of a Photoshop challenge when I tried to remove a drop of honey that fell on the edge of the bowl behind the stream of honey. Cloning is très difficile!

Day 351- Pouring Honey
Tried to get a shot of honey pouring over my breakfast, but couldn't quite the effect I was after. I ended up trying the shot about five or six times, thereby, sweetening my cereal a bit too much. I had to decide to stop at this shot! And I also got quite a bit of honey on to my camera and the dining table in the process. :( A right sticky situation!

Day 156 - Guilty of too much indulgence
This is my new trinket! Did I need it? Of course not! Did I want it? Well, d'oh!
Ok.. that has been my conversation with myself for the past few hours - ever since I walked into the store I dread walking into. Anyway, too late now. I've been feeling really unwell all evening, and I'm consoling myself that it's not the guilt, but probably the 'flu that's killing me. (Let's hope it's not the 'flu; I have places to go tomorrow.)
So down to the photoshoot - I was experimenting with my flash again. I set it to full power about a foot and a half away from the subject to camera left. I used a white foam board to bounce the light of the flash onto the watch. All other light sources were turned off. I held the board just in front of the on-camera flash (powered down to -2 stops because I was using it to trigger the slave flash), so it wouldn't fire directly on the subject.
I used my 90mm lens and shot them all on manual exposure.
This next one was flashed with the reflector bent at an angle towards the subject which added that darker part at the top half of the image; I only added a little clarity and luminance in post.

The first shot is SOOC.
F7.1, 1/200s, ISO 100
The next one here was without a flash. When I was processing this, I realized that I could see the colourful reflections of my jammies (see the shot above) on the watch dial, and therefore decided to turn this into a B&W. I think I like the B&W better.
f32.0, 10s, ISO 200

f9.0, 1/200s, ISO 200
This last one was shot with the on- camera flash powered up now to 0, and then covered with the hand.
