Just a product shot with the K10D and the A 50/1.4 lens.

One light, with a snoot. I used paper to curl up and make the opening really small.

Yeah, I know about fire danger. I kept an eye on it and turned off the modeling light when I'd got everything positioned.
Amazing what you can do with one light!

I love intense colors, and shooting glass is always interesting.

Awesome...I'd really love to see this with an extremely small pinlike beam pointing straight down into the vase...of course, I'm a little wierd...I'll have to try this "piece of paper" snoot...hehe...
Great work...

I was also thinking of lighting it by cutting a hole in the paper and putting the head below the table. I'd need a piece of wood I could make a hole in for that to work, but one of these days I'll get around to it!
