;) It's OK. It's my little way of acting like I have some power over something. "You're not helpful! Bahh! No checkbox for you!"

Wow! What an awesome thing to wake up to this morning! I really did not expect this to do as well as it did, but I guess simplicity is key here at DPC.

It was a simple enough shot. I took the silver ornament (the whitish areas are "frosted") and put it on a white posterboard on the sofa. Then, I used my currently favored technique for bouncing light. I have left over white melamine from a woodworking project. I have about 4 different sizes. I used a large (2' by 3') rectangular piece held about 6 inches out of the frame, at a 45 degree angle to the poster board.

Post processing was very simple and consisted mainly of conversion to grayscale, duotone to get the blue, and cloning for hairs/dust/scratches. I actually didn't do any cropping.

Equipment: 300D on an old tripod (replaced now by my Xmas gift of a 3011B), kit lens (I still adore this lenses versatility), 550EX, aforementioned posterboard and melamine reflector.

Thanks to all for the comments. :)
