Book

ISO: 100 Aperture: 11.0 Shutter Speed: 1/100 Lens: 17-50mm Flash: 580

This was just a random picture that I decided to take during class one day. I had some extra time on my hands so I decided, hey, why not get creative. To take this picture, I put the black background up in the studio, then I found a dictionary and put two pages together in the center. In order to get them to stay the way I wanted, I took some tape and stuck them together. next, I took a flash and put it behind the book. In order to keep a lens flare from occurring from the flash directly hitting the lens, I placed the book on top of another book and tilted the flash. It took a lot of tries to get this right, but it eventually sort of worked out. The other thing that I found to be difficult was getting the amount of lighting even on both sides of the pages. If I could go back and do this picture again, I would want to try to get a rim light on the actual book on both right and left sides, because I only have one on the right side right now. I liked taking this picture because it was kind of a stress reliever.
