  1. Oh, LOVELY details! I enjoy it both from an artistic perspective, and the photography skills perspective - the black background sets it off so nicely, and your lighting was evenly done - I so often get flash-glares on those brighter surfaces!

  2. Did this with natural light indoors. Had to use a tripod for the long exposure required. Lighting is something I dearly wish to learn more about, multiple strobes and that kind of thing.

  3. What a lovely piece. I've admired the Russian aesthetic when it comes to art. That's a great pic, Jim!
