Story Behind the Photo
October 2024: Made in Washington
©Lyn McNees
EQUIPMENT USED:
Light Tent
Black Backdrop
Three Small LED Lights
Tripod
Props
Panasonic Lumix 300
Camera Settings: f2.8, 1/60 sec, ISO 3200
The smaller lights were used on either side of the tent on the outside. The larger light was hand held above the camera. The room lights were off and the room was darkened.
I used a clone tool to remove the bright spots on the bottle and the glass caused by the overhead light.
I used a “Liquify” feature in ACDSee to achieve the background by moving my cursor around. Then I used tone mapping in Photomatix to get the final photo edit you see above.
