The interesting thing I find about myself and this lighting setup is that I have used this exact lighting setup on products.

One can not view it with out feeling that winter is indeed coming and with it all the consequences of death and renewal Technically I love that you have used a hyper focal distance technique (intentional or not it works) to provide th...
