The set up was exactly the same as last night, only I upped the power of both the strobes by about a stop each. So there was twice the power from each strobe, and 4 times overall. Theoretically, I could be very very wrong about that too. In practice though, it only gets maybe 2 stops brighter, but that still helps a whole lot with making the white cloth very white.
Another trick to get wrinkles or texture out of something is to use a big light source that is in line with the lens. This fills in the shadows and makes everything look very flat. But be carful not to overdo it on the subject, which is easy to do. Fortunately, the very soft lighting still worked really well with the pie tonight, and so I left it as it was. The backlight was semi directional, the front a little less, so there was till nice texture in the pie and berries. The specular highlights was awesome as well from the inside of the soft box.
Here's the edit. You can see how I initially go with one photo, then change my mind really fast and go with another one at the very end. I just liked the composition way more with the other one.
See you tomorrow!
