Photographing Still Life

This was a really simple shot. I had never done much still life and wanted to test some new studio equipment that I had just bought.

The set up was very quick and basic; I used a sheet of brown A3 card as a base/backdrop, I used just one studio light with softbox attached and simply used the modelling lights, no flash.

I used an exposure of 1.5 seconds and an aperture of F5.6 to "smooth" out the card background by throwing it out of focus.

A quick and simple experiment which got me thinking about doing more still life/stock photos, but just can't find the time lately!
