one scoop or two?
 Close up of a well-used icecream scoop. Controlling the reflections from the deliciously sexy surfaces was a challenge. The scoop was placed on a plastic folio cover 8 inches beneath a table with a white underside. Lighting was bounced off that underside surface. Focus was on the apex of the curve at the neck & horizon was positioned so the apex would not disappear into the bg. Maybe I'll do another with deeper dof ... this was at f/6.3 :)

Corey Rankin says:not bad, but there is a big hotspot where the
light is reflected inside the scoop, and the
scoop is lost in the shadow where it is
sitting on the blue surface (maybe clamp it
and raise it off the surface). I think the
light should have been much more diffused
even before bouncing off the table to soften
everything, then used another light (or white
reflector) to add some highlights - maybe
highlight the front of the rim all the way
around. Maybe, because of the curves, you
could even use a light tent to control the
reflections - just above, and to the bottom
left of, the big hotspot there are some
uneven distractions.
Corey Rankin says:gday kc - its all a learning process - i do
like the shot, btw - looking forward to see
what you come up with next

This one I like very much. The contrast and colours are very nice. Plus the framing choice is also very enticing.
