You are What you Eat!

Tom has been shooting still lifes working in our natural light studio And this afternoon at sunset the light broke through and made magic...before "magic hour".
Side Note: Magic Hour is a movie term for that hour after the sun goes below the horizon; dusk. It is a very warm light and was directional from the side. A few choice clouds moved in at just the right moment and everything went soft.
Tom added a fill card and I shot at 4000ºK and 6000ºK. With some masking and sharpening and burning and increasing contrast selectively; viola!

My friend Rosie

Rosie is my "circus kitty" so all I had to do was place her on the stool and turn on the lights!
I decided to warm up the "film" and shot at 5000ºK using 5500ºK flashtubes. This is classic beauty lighting. This piebald feline is a classic beauty. I am shooting with a Nikkor 105mm micro lense which is a beautiful piece of optics. it is perfect for portraits of small subjects.
