Still Life Hard Lighting

The Jar:
This image is rather special because of the kind of effect the jar makes. The light is a hard light coming from the right, but because the jar is see through, the shadow it gives has a lighter effect, yet strong enough to show the exact shape of the jar. This picture has really nice contrasts, where it is meant to be black, it very clearly is black, and there are spots on the jar where it is clearly white. This shows us that this picture is not gray at all. The image is a lot better than the test strip because the test strip is too dark, and it doesn't allow us to see details very clearly. And therefore, because the test strip was taken with the settings set at apreture 2.8, filter 0, and time 15 seconds, i reduced the time by 5 seconds, to end up with the final print at apreture 2.8, filter 0, and 10 seconds.
