My new project for the week was to shoot tethered (camera to computer) so I could see what I was shooting better. (I’d rather be looking at a large image on my computer than a small LCD image on the back of my camera.) This way I could see how much detail was in my shadow area and also see if my high lights were going to be blown out. I decided to photograph this wine bottle in my office, using window light as my light source. I only needed to take four shoots before I knew I had the picture I wanted. First, I had to turn the bottle a little to the left. Second, I put a white piece of cardboard (as a reflector) on the right side to open up the shadows. Then I changed my aperture to f/5.6 from f/8. I wanted to separate the bottle from the background by putting the background slightly out of focus. Shooting tether was fun and the project completed!
