The Mystery of Light, Prof. Chris Callis: Week 10

I think this is one of the most sophisticated still life photos I have ever taken. It is of a from a Puja ceremony. It required me to see the light and anticipate what it would do to the specular highlights and the reflections that are visible. The 580EX light was pointed forward and up. What was lit there was reflected in the turntable. The flash also revealed detail in the fruit, as well as its shadow.
