Tonight, while making evening tea, I tried the high key style (see Wikipedia). I took the photo with digital SLR, Nikon D80, and a manual Nikon Series E 50mm f/1.8 AI-S lens. Aperture was f/5.6 and exposure time was 1/200. In addition I used two flashguns: Nikon SB-28 at 24mm on camera, firing @ 1/32 upwards to the ceiling, and Nikon SB-80dx with a diffuser behind the table, on the floor at 14mm, firing @ 1/4 upwards.
On Friday I set up a tabletop studio and took a photo number 6 for Project 365. I set up my Nikon D80 on a tripod with Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D lens and Nikon SB-28 flashgun. The flashgun was bounced from the ceiling @ 1/2. I also had a Nikon SB-80dx on camera left and it was triggered @ 1/16 using flashgun’s built-in wireless slave. A black/dark grey A3 cardboard as background.
