Merry Christmas everyone! I wanted to be sure that I said that before I forgot.
This is a gift I gave Carol on the Christmas before we married 15 years ago. She has it on the mantle this year. I borrowed it yesterday for this shoot.
As I walked downstairs to my "studio" I thought that I would like it to sparkle. I thought of my 4-point star filter and the red backdrop for my light box. I thought that the flash should be inside and undiffused. I wanted blown highlights.
I did not realize that I would get really caught up in the making of the image. Maybe it was the red (passionate color) back ground.

I really pushed the lighting. I ended up with a flash in each front corner of the light box. I had enough light bouncing around in the cube to outline the tree just as I imagined.
Carol took one look and in her typically honest and straightforward way brought me back to earth when she said that the red was too much. Thanks Carol. I now see what you were saying.

This is the one that I like best after all the passion has subsided. Where did the green come from? I had no green in the light box. Green is the complimentary color to red. I suppose it showed up in the glass for a reason related to that fact. Any comments?

Anyway, Best wishes for this holiday season and the the year to come!
