Feb 16: Vase

Just a vase. There's a thread in the forums about how many shots it takes to get your PaD shot. This took 40. Mostly lighting test shots to get that cross frame gradation - yep, that's real, not Photoshop. Usually I'd take a lot less, but the lighting here was the challenge.


other sizes: small medium original auto

YES! Verrrryyyyy nice. Gorgeous blacks and whites, David. And good job with the gradiation. Funny you should mention the number of attempts. Some days it just clicks, others it takes a lot of work. What would we do without instant feedback? Bracket like hell? I saw this thing about Stanley Kubrick, he had a polaroid camera with film that matched his movie film, he used it to check his lighting and composition during 2001: A Space Odyssey...
