Thank you. I can see where you are coming from but it wasn't a studio shot, at least not in the way you mean. This was outside. There was a tree branch at approx. chest height. I picked the ink caps and placed them on the branch and covered the soil pack over with moss. I had a big 4' white reflector suspended behind the branch. That was a real PIA to fix and hold given that I was in a thicket of scrubby dead and alive trees and shrubs. Lighting was OCF with a cable to the hot shoe. I just played around with angles and flash power settings. Then some work in LR and CS6; levels, cropping, vignette and not forgetting Silver Effex.
I suppose by some definitions I created a mini studio outdoors. Hope I haven't broken any rules!!!
The caps were in a damned near impossible place to find, and I must thank a dog walking compatriot of mine who went rooting about in the undergrowth to find them for me.
