It's been busy and it looks like it will get busier. With paying work, even. One of the things I've been working on is some table top product photography. In between paying work I did this photo of my Pentax Spotmatic F with the 85/1.8. I'm *really* happy the way it came out. Below the Pentax is a picture of my FED 2. That was about 3 years ago when I was first setting up for table top photography. The FED 2 was shot with a single hot light. I did something different with the Pentax shot. I've been using two Vivitar 285HVs, one on each side, but this time I shot through the 43" white Westcott umbrellas placed very close to the camera. The next step is to build a light tent. I have a friend that is sending me some plastic diffusion material he really likes (heavy white plastic used for trash compactor bags) and then I need to attach that to some pvc pipe.
