Default Behind the scenes of the Gold Box Series Madness

When tidying up after the Gold Box D100 I had a crazy idea. That of using a silver flash umbella as a backdrop and reflecting the gold colour from the boxes back into the scene, so completing the Gold Box series with a bit of a bang.

Crazy idea as this is designed to be a super reflective surface. It does however have a texture to provide interest.

There is a version taken without the gold reflection in the ' Critique ' thread.

A focal length of 35 mm was chosen to give greater depth to the brolly as I wanted to include the mechanism and give greater prominence to the lens. The taking camera was about 400 mm from the subject camera. In these circumstance it proved impossible to include a reflection on the camera display screen. The reflection of the brolly handle you can see, is from a section an inch above the catch.
