When I read the <a href=\"http:\/\/strobist.blogspot.com\/2007\/07\/lighting-102-unit-22-specular-highlight.html\">Strobist Lighting 102<\/a> exercise about specular highlights I said &#8220;Snap, I can try that out on the jar o corks.&#8221; (I didn&#8217;t really say &#8220;snap.&#8221; That would be stupid.)<\/p>\n<p>I know there is a great shot to be had involving this jar and the corks. I just don&#8217;t think this is it. I did learn a great deal about moving the highlight around and making it bigger or smaller, however. I tried to use a desk lamp diffused with some tracing paper to provide some backside fill. To balance the light from the lamp, I tried a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Color_correction#Gel_nomenclature\">CTO gel<\/a> on the flash, but I couldn&#8217;t get it right. The lamp made a specular reflection of its own, compounding the problems. I seem to remember reading on the Strobist something about bouncing the light around with mirrors to fake like there&#8217;s more than one flash. Maybe I&#8217;ll try that.<\/p>\n<p>Strobist info: Vivitar 285HV camera left at 1\/16 through a sheet of typing paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love this jar o corks that sits on our kitchen counter.
