Hero d20 shot...

What else is there to do while stuck home during a named winter storm? Shoot hero shots of dice of course! heh.

Shot using a DX 70-300mm lens in crop mode on my full-frame Nikon z6 at about 3ft. Bounced the flash off the ceiling synced with the shutter just right to keep the rest of the room black.

I like the backdrop and the way it works with the greens on the die.

Thanks. What I did was sync the flash and shutter speed just enough to let the flash hit the die and table but not the rest of the room. Just taken in my apartment without a proper backdrop. Bouncing the flash off the ceiling.

Wow, great technique and the result speaks for itself. Very nicely done.
Congrats and regards,
Mike

Thank you Mike, much appreciated.

Im snowed in too and will be giving some thing like this a try. Imminsoired by this great work. The lighting is perfect!!

Just got gone cleaning three houses of snow this morning and taking a nap. I have the die right on the tables edge and the camera slightly pointing up to remove the tables-top from the frame. Thank you for the kind words. I want to try this again but with some vacuum tubes I have.
