Location
This shot was taken on the kitchen table of our rented house. We are renovating another property and the tube is an off-cut of the chimney liner.Time
It was taken mid afternoon in a bright kitchen.Lighting
I rested the softbox on the kitchen table with the end of the softbox against the tube.Equipment
Canon 7D mkII with a 10-22mm lens set on a tripod. Strobe and softbox wired to the camera. Off-cut of chimney liner and my boys stormtrooper modelInspiration
I had been experimenting with Lego toys but wanted to try something that looked a little more realistic. It was just an experiment really. I wasn't expecting anything as realistic as Hernandez Dreamphotography...!Editing
Definitely had to rotate just a tiny bit. Can't remember exactly but may have tweaked the brightnessIn my camera bag
Usually just my trusty 50mm f/1.8 and a reflector for portraits...Feedback
If you have kids, you may not ever have time to take photos but if you do, at least you will have plenty of subject matter - usually strewn around on every floor and flat surface...
