Bottlecaps

Old beer caps I saw lying around and just shot on a d200 with the 105mm & extension tube for 1:1 macro again. I used two hot lights on either side of the caps for overall light, fill cards below and above for light to come straight down on it and to also surround the edges for (more) even shadows. f22 @ 10 seconds, iso 100

yeah, so wow. focus on macro is most definitely crucial. but let me say i was at school 13 hours today, on a very very swollen and probably broken or sprained foot walking around in the studio shooting most of the day (but i also got in a chair with wheels and rolled around, hah). due for critique tomorrow morning, and then i'm going to the doctors. you could say i like macro, and lighting metal was a piece of cake (thank you kevin). it's really nice to be able to take your time in the studio and not be rushed, i'm having fun playing.
