2nd shoot for Book Project [Note: originally created 7/10/11]

[NOTE: I'm posting this so you can see the improved images, but this post is out of date to when I originally intended to post it]

Last tuesday I reshot the Book Project as the original ones were to grey/had too many shadows. This time, however, I used a light table with a light shining up from  beneath. The following are some of the results; note how there are very few shadows now, and compare them with the old ones (particularly the same keyring that is in those posts as well as this one).

Although the lighting is better in this shot of this keyring, the composition of the older ones is better. Perhaps I should have printed off a copy of the older ones so that I could replicate the composition.

The composition of this keyring compared with previous versions (which were laid out flat) is much better. Due to the lack of shadows, the stormtrooper appears to be shot from below, while the keychain appears to be shot from above.

In other shots of this keyring the side of the letter cubes is in shadow, due to strong lighting from the right, whereas in this one, lighting is more prominent from below/left.

In previous shots of this keyring were unsatisfactory and did not do the keyring justice. In the latest shoot, there is a reflection of the inside of the gyro bar, and as you know, I like reflections, so this one is one of my favourites now.

I've decided that this will be the cover photo for the photo book because it has the word 'keyring' in the label at the top, and because it shot as it was when purchased (in a display box).

This one does not change much between each of the shoots. All that really changes is the removal of shadows.
