  3. Great reflections – you did a great job of lighting this.

  4. Very nice Jeff, you really are managing to mix things up nicely with your daily entries. Love the lighting and the image is as sharp as a pin.

  9. How do you do this? I see it alot but have no clue

  10. Thanks Everyone :=)

    Can we fix it? Yes We Can!!

    I used a glossy 13×19 piece of photo paper as the backdrop (to give the reflection) and put the toy on it. I have two flashes, triggered wirelessly with cybersync (I love these things!) triggers. On one I light the subject (camera left) and the other (camera right) I lit the background. I used a red gel on that one to give the background the color. Hope that helps. Send me a flickr mail if I can help in any way.
