So much to learn. I would never have thought of that but I can see how that would work. Maybe not for this subject but something to try and remember for the future.Sometimes what you need to do is provide negative lighting (black panels) in order to increase the contrast in those areas.
Thats it Garry. When i'm attempting to photograph a subject, in my mind i'm sort of thinking or grasping at the thought that there must be a rule book to follow for each scenario. Your example photos are most useful in explaining the text you wrote. Plus my experiance whilst taking the photos backs this up.There aren't any rules about this.
I have played at lighting bottles so I get the idea of the diffused highlights but the "ordinary" specular highlights I have never tried to use.
Not used a reflector before as up untill now I have only had my speedlights. The ad200 takes them I believe.
Why free. If it's going to charity sell it.My plan is to offer it as a free
Don't get me wrong it's a great gesture.
