Some lighting experiments

I haven't posted photos for a while.
I'm sure these won't be particularly interesting to most of you, but I'm rather proud of them.
All of them are unedited and were taken in the three-minute and forty-second long periods between pressing "Record" and "Stop" for my buddy Greg as he recorded his demo CD.

Two flashes. One on-camera, bouncing off ceiling behind me. One behind the board, hitting the wall.


Two flashes. One on-camera pointed directly at the glasses. One directly behind the flashes, bouncing off of the wall. Going for a purposefully soft/pastel look.

One hand-held flash. Fired four times during an eight-second exposure. One above the cup, one on the front of the cup, one from each side.

I think I've got most of the light figured out. Was the soundboard (or whatever it is) lit from in front of the board and from above?

if I might critique your spontaneous work, I like the one with the two cups the best. Mostly because it has more apparent dimension while the others almost look a little flat. Good job
