This image from my “Kitchen Table Studio” was shot with natural light. I have a large patio door (about 5ft wide and 8 ft high) that is north facing and provides good soft light for most of the afternoon.

The glass was set on a white foamcore board. The camera was positioned so that there were no direct reflections, leaving the glass clear, and the edges furthest from the window dark. The only post-processing was a levels adjustments to make the whites a little brighter.

Equipment: Nikon D200; Sigma 80-300mm lens (set at 300mm), tripod

Exposure: f32, 5 sec., ISO 100
