June 30, 2008 – Final Countdown
Nine pictures left on my year long Picture A Day project.
Strobist info about this shot: I worked to get the reflections on the buttons to look nice here. Hard flash (Vivitar 285HV) camera right at 1/16 power for the highlight. A 2×3′ sheet of white foamcore just above the timer for a soft light source. If you look on the buttons you can see exactly those reflections. I moved the flash around until I got the highlight where I wanted it. I got the Mac-like glassy button look I was going for. The background is smoky plexiglas over black matte board.
