With the tremendous blizzard that is coming to Minneapolis this Christmas, I turned my attention to my indoor studio. I always wanted to get a beautiful image of this piece of pottery I bought in Germany. To make this image I used my Cowboy Studio 36" softbox at 1/2 power with my D200 set at the maximum sync shutter speed with an aperture of 5.3 on my Tokina 80-400 lens. The key to making this image work was using a white wall as a fill card to step up the contrast ratio. There was no post-processing other than the pre-set JPEG compression options inside the camera body. Enjoy!
