 I apologize but I decided that I needed to test lighting for a potential photo in the Still Life competition. I brought in some halogen lamps from my shop and an old table cloth and started shooting. I tried a few different angles and somewhere along the way I lost some beer. All in all... I learned that I have a lot to learn. Not only in lighting but in making a triptych.

That's really interesting. Note to self: don't drink the client's product! :-)

I know this was all about the lighting, but this shows a few things that you'll know about next time. For example, the frosted glass really makes the first shot special, so you'd want to have a big supply on hand for repeated takes. I've also noticed in other people's shots the importance of having the backdrop ironed.

I like seeing the process of learning new things. I don't really have a good place to shoot still life so it's cool to see what you've tried...and I love the beer slowly going away :)

Love the disappearing beer. I think the lighting of the first one is the most dramatic, and may show form the best.

Newcastle brown ale...and cigars...goodness that will ensure everything moves along the bus so to speak

I reckon if you do another 3 or 4 of these triptych tests then you wont care what the lighting looks like by the end

oh btw my personal preference is the middle one though I do like the fact that on the right the backdrop means you cant see the wall

Dog! haven't seen any of that in years. You know, this Belgian beer is highly overrated at times.

Hmmmm. The beer level is going down, down, down....

I'd blame the beer, but only because I'm not a fan of the nutty Newcastle ;) I don't have a clue about studio images/lighting, but it looks good, imo. So hopefully your learning curve won't be too much! Fun image, nice composition.

Losing beer during a shoot, eh? That does sound familiar! I wish I could help with lighting or triptych... I'm dreadful at them, though!
