I have decided that I don't want to do "Habit" - Instead I took a picture of the stained glass panel that I made at the weekend on a one day course the Kathie bought for me as a Birthday present.
I thought I had this nailed until I saw the finished image just now after resting my eyes before taking one last look prior to upload... Hmmm, somehow I think I have overdone it and lost the texture of the thing, I will try to re-shoot this another time to try and capture the look of the lead. Anyway here's the shot as I have run out of time. Like it or lump it!
Had a read back through light science and magic. Also the Strobist 102 section and realised than Allan was right about a large light source rather then a small one. A small one gives more contrast (harder shadows) which I thought would work but a large one is better for metals and highly reflective surfaces to make the specular highlights the way I wanted them. Cheers Allan. I used a second flash bounced off the white ceiling. took a while to balance the lights but I got there, I'm quite chuffed with this now.
