Another entry for the sport, this one was hard for me as I've never done anything like it before.

This is my natural habitat.

I love technology, and especially old technology. Here I've got my old tv which I hooked up to digital terrestrial & playstation, my old record player and sound system, and in the back my laptop and dual screen setup. There's a course in there somewhere too that I'm supposed to be studying now... ;)

Lighting info:
1 double-CTO-gelled Vivitar 285 behind the cupboard, full power. The wires behind the cupboard gave me a nice pattern on the wall.

1 CTO-gelled Metz 48-AF camera left, 1/4 power, with the Speedlight Pro Kit large grid on it, pointed at the tv. (Note the pattern of the grid, this happened accidentally because I forgot to put the stofen-type diffuser in, but I kinda like it)

1 gridded Achiever 632LCD, 1/4 power also on camera left, pointed at the laptop

Right outside the frame is a huge window, with store-type curtains, which gave me a soft ambient light to balance the whole scene with.

The light behind the screen is a desk lamp pointed up, and the light coming out of the wall near the ceiling are TL lamps inside the wall.

Shifted the white balance a little to get the blue/orange contrast.

A late entry, for the sport :) Didn't have much time last week.

Taken on a large sheet of cadapac.

Light:
- Vivitar 285 bounced into a 2nd sheet of cadapac on camera left
- as fill: Metz 48 AF-1 on camera right fired into my newly arrived Speedlight Pro Kit 6 diffuser :) With thanks again to David and the people at Speedlight Pro Kit!

A very tasty assignment aswell... ;)
