I found a dead baby horseshoe crab on the beach and decided to make it the subject of a practice lighting session. The underbelly was particularly challenging because of all the detail.

I was inspired by The Strobist, a great blog about lighting that I recently discovered, to try some of my own lighting experiments. Ingredients: Objects in my house (shell found on the beach today, an antique spur from a flea market in Buenos Aires, and a Buddha head I picked up in Taiwan), a piece of glass, a sheet of white paper, a sheet of black paper, and two lights. And my camera, with a macro lens. And 2 hours to spare.
