Keith Burton's photos with the keyword: table top photography

Taken indoors in natural light. I used a sheet of brown card as a background and added a texture and vignette in processing. I'm not overly happy with the reflections on the bottle, but I don't think they detract from the photo too much. Probably best viewed large..........

As I couldn't go out yesterday as we had workmen in to do some fence repairs, I decided to try some more tabletop photography. For this one I "borrowed" a lily flower head from a bunch of my wife's flowers. I used a large piece of black card as the background and a white insert from an old framed photo to frame the flower. I really need to sort of some decent background material........card is OK, but it still reflects light a bit and is prone to scratches. Also in close up images you can sometimes see the texture in it as well. I think some sort of black velvet material would be better and I intend to investigate that. I also need to sort out some proper lighting. This was made using natural light from the window and a white piece of card as a reflector. It works but is unwieldy. Actually, what I really need is a home studio :-))) Anyway, hope you like this one. I have some more to share in due course, but don't want to bore you. Go large for best effect. Thanks for looking.
