Enlightenment

Strobist Information:

Buddha statue is sitting on a long mirror placed so that from the angle the picture was taken it was reflecting a white ceiling.

Two SB-28's, one on camera left was fired through a softbox and one on the right was fired through a small cardboard snoot, both on fairly high power (sorry, can't remember the exact settings). Aperture was set to f32 to get the black background but I still had to increase the black levels in Lightroom to get it perfectly black.
