A great still life photo Jeanette. Both the composition and lighting are spot on. Your choice of a dark background really makes the subject stand out and the image is so sharp I nearly cut my finger looking at it. #1070

Thanks, Mark. This was a lighting project. No flash, daylight and incandescent. The daylight and most of the incandescent light was coming from a 45 degree angle to the left. There oas 1 incan overhead. Camera was tripod mounted. I had hoped the mirror would bounce a lot of the light...I guess it did. Jeanette #1633

I really like this entire concept. I have been curious about the useage of mirrors. Is there any advice you can give me? Anything special to look for? A special brand or any special problems to look for when shooting with mirrors? #1696
