Chocolate!!!

"All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt."-Charles M. Schulz

This is what I shot for the Chocolate Assignment. Had a lot of fun with this shoot. Partly because I love chocolate, and I found some I am not allergic to to work with, and partly because I just love shooting food. Let me know what you think!

This is my setup. I used one speedotron flash with a softbox, one fill card, and one black card. I shot it with a D300 at ISO 200, f/10, 1/30 sec., and a 60mm macro lens.

Want Some Lemonade?

"If life throws you a lemon - make lemonade."-Joan Collins

At the end of the semester, we must turn in a portfolio for the Biocommunications Object Lighting class. One of the requirements is that we include items with certain specifications. One of the images must be glass. While perusing the shelves of a store looking for a mug for my pharmaceutical shoot, I found this pitcher and was inspired to do a clean, simple, high key shot of lemonade.

I used a Nikon D3s, 70-200 mm lens, I shot it at 1/125 and f/11, ISO 200. I lit it using 2 Speedotron flashes and a fill card.
