Witches Brew Setup - a photo on Flickriver

Witches Brew Setup

Experimental setup to edge light a glass, using just 2 small lights and a pair of DIY difussion screens 9 Details here : www.flickr.com/photos/steveblackdog/5026934119/ )

By using the screens, I was able to both light the glass and mask the black part of the background from the same lights. Hopefully the photo shows where the light was hitting the backdrop.
The lighting is a little off balance as the left screen was fitted with tracing paper, while the right had a sheet of white printer paper. Hopefully it shows the tracing paper gave a slightly harder light.

Lights were a pair of Neewer SF-01 mini slave flashes, mounted on Blazzeo SLT-4 radio triggers and mini tripods.

As an aside, all the lighting gear used for this shot, cost less than £40/$60, so if you thought using flash off the camera was expensive to get started, it needn't be.
