For my first photo, I shot a close-up of some wine corks. Northern Michigan is a huge marketplace for Michigan wines and my parents are big fans of wine. This is part of my mom's expansive collection of corks that will "someday get used for something," according to her. This was shot with a soft box to the left of the light table. It was set to F 6.5. I shot this with a 35 mm lens, ISO 1600, F 29, 1/320.

For a lot of children of the 90's, Lite Brite can be associated with their childhood. For this picture I tried to portray bottling up your youth. I loved how colorful it looked and also the reflection on the light table. This was also shot with the lightbox directly to the left on F 6.5. My lens was at 55 mm with a 1600 ISO, F5.6, and 1/200.

Here is a picture showing my lighting setup.
