Silver Photography

What is more silver than The Bean?

I was digging around in drawers looking for silver items to photography this week. I really didn't want to polish silver, but I did clean a few pieces up.

Since silver is very reflective, it makes very little sense to light the silver objects as they do not absorb any light.The silver will simply reflect the light.Just like a mirror.  So I needed to move the light around a bit to light a different area other than the silver I wanted to photograph. It was a great learning experience.
