i'm really quite tired of looking at myself, so i thought i'd start out today taking a picture of this feather thing. it's actually a pen that belongs to alisia.
i wanted to do another dramatic lighting type setup here, so i put the feather pen in a justin clamp on a light stand, put the camera on a tripod, and set up a sb-28 through a sb-3 softbox camera right. i feathered the light (hah!) so that it was pointed more at the background than at the feather itself.
i liked the results, but wanted to experiment with color contrast, so i got out my old colorsplash flash (the flash that got me into flash photography in the first place) attached an optical slave trigger, and placed it about 5 feet away behind the feather on a bookshelf camera left. i played with the colorsplash settings (it has three different gels built into it, red, blue and yellow) and decided the blue gel had the most pleasing effect.
did nothing in lightroom other than a levels adjust. no vignette, no color shift, nothing. done and done.
