14th September 2015 - Cheers

This is for my mentoring group - theme B&W artificial light.

I have been playing all afternoon trying to get a white background. I need to read my manual for the flash gun!! LOL!!

Many thanks for your great comments on my open book shot - very much appreciated!!

How lovely I have just seen this reached the PP - thanks for getting it there!!

Trying for the white background and it looked ok until I loaded it to 365 and now I can see grey on the LHS or am I seeing things now? Converted in Nik efex pro and using the overexposed filter which gave the best effect I thought.

Love the simplicity of this shot. Fav

This looks really good.

Are you trying to do it SOOC? If not, couldn't you just up the white slider a bit and get what you want? I love how you've lit this so you have no shadows!
September 14th, 2015  
Wonderful!! Cheers!

@taffy I have pushed the white slide up quite a bit but had to stop before I lost the top of the glass. I think I needed to turn my flash up a bit to get a stronger flash behind the glass and bottle. I need to check the manual! So long since I used the flash I have forgotten what to do!

I think this is magnificent and @taffy it hadn't occurred to me to look for shadow removal. I guess I am sick...brain is shut down

This is terrific Pam, I really like the way you've truncated the reflections. As for the little corner of grey, assuming you use Photoshop, it's easily dealt with by making a layer mask and painting out the shadow on that mask.

I just love this!!! The simplicity, POV and the reflections - just hinting - love this and fave

I really really like this, it is a really professional looking shot. It is a bit grey in that top left corner, and if that was fixed, it would be 100% perfect!
September 15th, 2015  
Very professional looking. Nicely done.
September 15th, 2015  
WOW! Well done. Great lighting and b & w.
September 15th, 2015
