TSC - High Key ~ High Tea

Well, a couple of years ago I made a photo light box from instructions I found on the internet. I never had any luck getting really great shots with it, but thought I'd try it for this challenge now that I know about the "exposure value" (EV) setting on my camera. I took some pics with it stepped up a couple notches (keeping ISO at 160) and was able to get a much brighter, lighter photo. I used 3 photo lights and the light coming in the window to light the scene. I also did a little p.p. This is new for me so I appreciate any constructive criticism. Thank you!

This is "Foley Bone China" Made in Merry old England (a gift from my sister)

Lighting and composition is fine. I can't see much wrong although I must admit I never did High Key before.

Wow, like others said, you nailed it, girl! I found that those manual setting values really do work for creating good high key photography. That and the right kind of lighting (which was the bigger challenge for me, lol).
Beautiful work, Karen :-))

I really have had no luck with my lights before this Val. I am going to be using that EV setting a lot from now on. Thanks so much!

beautiful colours and teaset, the off centre framing works well, balances the handle of the teacup nicely

That's great to hear A.S. I though it needed something other than to just be centered.

At first, I did not recognize this as a tea cup. A wonderful shot. I really like the unusual angle.
