One light and varying the Aperture

Wine glass one light experiment — One light with a gel and varying apertures

This was a very simple setup. A roll of white seamless paper, a Q Flash at 1/64th power being triggered by a Pocket Wizard (any flash and any triggering system would work fine), a wine glass camera and tripod. I used ISO 200 for optimal image quality and shot from f2.8 in the upper left corner to f22 in the lower right corner. Shutter speed was a constant 1/160. With flash the exposure is almost solely controlled by aperture. At some point if I slowed down the shutter speed to around 1/10th of a second the ambient (room) light might start to influence the exposure.

Headshots
I called Bob on very short notice for some pictures. I did not have any hard & fast rules so Bob’s direction and guidance was really appreciated. I felt really comfortable with Bob’s process; he & Julie helped to create a fun & casual atmosphere.
My pictures turned out just beautiful! Thank you, Bob. I’d recommend you to anyone.

Thanks again!
