Macro Mondays - Souvenir - Swarovski Crystal Hedgehog (From Austria)

            For this week’s Macro Mondays ‘Souvenir’ theme, I have chosen to photograph a Swarovski Crystal Hedgehog; a souvenir from a trip to Austria (a few years ago now) where their headquarters are located.

From Crystal Fanatics: The (Swarovski) Block SC Logo was originally used on the Silver Crystal product line. The Block logo is the letter C with the letter S inside the C; it was used from 1976 to 1988. The logo signifies authenticity and tells you the piece was produced during those particular years.

A simple set up this week after the headache of last weeks shot: one Bowens studio strobe, with the light directed on to the crystal Hedgehog. Post processing in Photoshop and Lightroom CC as usual.
