2009.02.18.thing.a.day: lighting exercise

today, i tried to light a reflective object on a reflective surface:

i got the idea from this tutorial. i think that i didn't light the background strongly enough and/or the angle that i took the picture from was maybe a little too high. i had other examples where the background blended better, but the clock didn't look as good. i'm going to try to read a little more about lighting metal and try again maybe.

I have the toughest time lighting reflective things! In fact I would say I am terrible at it which is unfortunate because I make and sell shiny things! :)
