As mentioned in the weekend comp chat, I've just finished a shoot photographing game counters for someone who will be selling them via the web and who requested a full set of shots for his web site. He wanted individual shots of the counters, 63 in all, and various set shots. Here's a sample or three.
The longest time, for me, is the set up, placing the lights, taking test shots, rearranging everything, taking more test shots, and so on. Sometimes moving a light an inch or two will give me exactly what I want, the right highlight, texture, feel, emphasis. I get quite frenetic about the set up, that's my running around like a headless chicken time. I'm good at running around like a headless chicken.

Nice work. :0) I know metal can be tricky to get right. You did a nice job getting all of the surface detail in, and minimizing harsh reflections.
I believe we've seen these counters on here before??

Thanks Blue, that highlight on the front edge was the rascal. It's really easy to blow the highlights on metal.
I did mention the possibility of this shoot on another thread but can't for the life of me remember where.
