One of the assortment of desserts I made for Easter this year. After spending nearly the entire day Saturday prepping for Easter dinner, I wasn't really in much of a mood to spend a lot of time behind the camera; just wanted to get off my feet and rest. Put the viewfinder up to my eye, and just moved around the stuff I had been working on, looking for a composition that worked. Took a few test shots of this éclair…
…and they all felt flat, which I should have expected from the room lighting. So, out came the new flashes, and half an hour of fiddling later, I arrived at this shot (so much for the “getting off my feet and resting” thing, eh?)
I was trying to mimic the look of a strong natural backlight, like I might shoot with if it were sometime when the sun was up (using a window in the background for the main light source, and maybe a white bounce or something to fill the resultant foreground shadows.
I didn't make note of the flash power settings, but one flash was behind and about a foot above, with a 8"x12" softbox, and the other was to camera right, bounced at about a 45° angle up to a metal sheet pan I was using as a reflector. i think I got pretty close to the look I was going for, although the highlights are just a hair more blown out than I would have liked (I suspect a bigger soft box or a shoot-through umbrella may have been a better choice).
Nikon D7000 w/Nikkor 18-200mm @ 135mm, 1/60s @ ƒ/8, ISO100, flash as described above. Minor cropping and color adjustment in Aperture.
