"Rhymes good as a tasty cake, mix, this style, I'm masterin'" - Brooklyn Zoo: Ol' Dirty Bastard
One of our good friends just had another baby so to celebrate @monatheism made a little cake out of newborn diapers and asked me to photograph it for her (I'm thinking this is gonna show up on her #fb page).
I wanted to capture a very clean/somewhat muted look to the image, so I had @monatheism hold a 580EX in a shoot through umbrella directly above the diaper cake and created a bit of rim light by placing a snoot/grid 430EX behind the cake camera left. Background lighting was provided by a 550EX on the floor pointed at the wall.
Strobist info:
1 580EX II (key) 1/8 power shoot through umbrella above camera center
1 430EX (rim) 1/4 power snoot/grid behind cake off camera left
1 550EX (background) 1/4 power on floor pointed at wall camera left
Camera settings:
1/500 f/4 ISO50
Lens used:
Fixed Canon 7-21mm f/2.0-2.5 as found on a Canon PowerShot G2
