These are some photographs I made tonight using my setup, which I'll explain in the manual. In addition to equipment and techniques, I'll explain color theory and how different colors impact mood. Being that some of you guys sell your pens (I'm new to turning and haven't started selling my stuff yet) it's important to understand how color has a psychological impact to the viewer and hopefully buyer.
This setup was one speedlight flash that was positioned off camera. I used a reflector adjacent to the flash to fill in the shadows. The pen and camera position was not changed. For the backdrop, I used 12" x 12" craft paper, which is typically used for scrap booking. The photograph was also shot using a point and shoot camera. There was no editing done to the image on a computer. I downloaded the photographs over wifi from my camera to my cell phone, cropped square and uploaded.
The pen is made out some acacia from George's.
In addition to technique and theory, in the manual I'm going to have an inspiration section. In this section, I'll have photographs with both only an explanation on equipment, settings and position, but photographs of my setup so anyone can try to recreate it.
