just playing around with a piece of white paper and a packet of mentos for that high key look

Outside the circle

natural light from window to the left (diffused by a sheer curtain) and a little bounced back from another piece of paper to the right to soften the shadows

Perfect white on white Keith - very hard to accomplish :)

Very nice, Keith!

But obviously you missed Monday's Mythbusters episode, otherwise you'd know that for "playing around" with mentos you need a bottle of diet cola... :D

Cheers
Steffen.

None of my screens are calibrated but I can see the Mentos, and its a really cool affect.. (there isn't a white DP challenge on atm is there?, coz this looks like a blue ribbon to me)

Edit: Oops, 104th in a Circle theme.. ouch. I think it suits white better.

Nicely done, especially considering the simple lighting setup.

I would say that a lot of their monitors aren't calibrated so they just saw a white page and they do like their over saturated shots there :(
and it was only just a quick last min entry with little planing but lots of care in shooting.... but just wait till they have a high key challenge

I'm glad my monitor is calibrated, but getting old to not reveal certain highlight details, or shadow details should that be :lol:

How ironic - my Huey turned up in my PO box today and I had *just* calibrated prior to launching my browser to visit the forums :)

Great pic, it does indeed look significantly better calibrated than not!

Now to look at some of my own pics *lol*

Cheers
