electric spuds
Got another call for a conceptual image. This is a guy who helped design a biomass facility that burns potato waste to generate electricity. This is a two-light setup. Main light is firing through a softbox from camera-left, about 5′ off the ground, and a fill card just out of frame on the right. Another flash is zoomed and snooted blasting at the potatoes on the table. I ended up combining two shots in post, in order to get a bit of depth to the exposure.
Most of this is 1/200sec at f8.0 ISO 160 at 18mm. Darker bits were a stop slower, with only the second flash firing. Combined with some masking in PhotoShop, and a bit of lightroom twiddling.
