a #1 diffusion screen.

Hand held with natural light only.

1/30 sec @ f/2.0
-1 EV
ISO 100
85mm Nikkor f/1.8 (my favorite portrait lens)
Spot Metering

All of ten minutes spent on this, shot my laptop, cleaned up a bit in CS3, pasted screen; bored, I was… Never shot a laptop before, just wanted to know…

Photographed on a shooting table, with a large sheet of white Lexan as the base.

Two studio strobes, the principal light is coming from behind a 7×7-foot Dacron diffuser as my main & rear light, and a small 20×20-inch softbox to the left front bouncing onto a 36-inch round white reflector to the right.

A ratio of 2 to 1 from main to fill lights.
