Shooting a lens

Nikon 18-55 mm, originally uploaded by MeShreyas.

Initially i thought ... shooting a lens is not that difficult, only to find out that .. indeed it is not. Just that the light positions need to be proper. In no way do i say that my picture is a perfect capture, but then again, why not :)

Ok .. techical things now .. .The basic setup was a black glass and a white wall. There was a flash placed abt 1 foot below and behind the glass pointed towards the wall. There was a blue gel used.

Another flash was inside a white shoot through umbrella ( can be seen in the lens ). The tricky part was placing this, and i intentionally added a reflection in the lens, just to add a bit of drama. This was placed about the same level as the lens to the left of camera.

No PP done, also no cropping done in this one.
