Thanks.nanometer wrote:Nice! I have done this a few times, and I find these really hard to light. They have very dark and very bright parts, so I appreciate the lighting challenge.
Apart from the occasional photo in a reference book, I've never looked that closely at powder. I was surprised by the surface texture which isn't visible to the naked eye.
The foam drinking cup diffuser suggestion I got here is paying off well.
I've got a variety of pistol and rifle powders on hand. I'll see what details emerge with ball and flake powders.
The Flashpoint strobe is really working out for stuff like this.
