Thunder Truck 1

Technical assignment numero dos for my still life class. The assignment was to use the bellows factor and get a close up shot of any object of our choice. I used a set of trucks from my skateboard for it. Used 3 profoto lights at 400w each. Soft box up above and tilted down, to the back of the object. Grid spot to the right, and a highly diffused light to the left. Had white board reflectors set up around to even it out and get highlights in the metal. F/32 @ 1/250 with a leaf digital back on a 4x5 view camera. This is the image I chose to print.
