I give up...

[Barefoot]

I got the idea for this shot one morning while having a late breakfast. The light was pouring in through the window and caught a fork laying there on the table. After trying to duplicate what I saw under studio light with absolutely no luck whatsoever, I sort of forgot about it. And then, three mornings ago I saw the same thing again. I went to work on it right away and the first results were posted on the assignments page. It’s the devil to expose for using the fork as it comes from the drawer on a sheet of white in the streaming sunlight, so I decided to alter things a bit. I laid it on some fluorescent poster board thinking that might do it, but it didn’t work out very well as you can see on that other thread. The fork is too dark in most areas. Then I painted the fork green and tried it again. A little better, maybe? Paint the fork a lighter shade of green?

After three straight mornings of working on this, I’ve finally thrown up my hands and said…Ah, Fork It!
