A Room With A View

The third Strobist Boot Camp assignment is to shoot an interior residential space. This is the den in my home. The wood floors were installed by yours truely a few months ago. This was a tough room to shoot. The fireplace obviously needs to be the focus of any shot of this room. Getting lights positioned so they aren't actually in the frame or flashing hot reflections off the glass in the doors was the first challenge. Second challenge, totally self imposed, is I don't have a wide angle lens. I would like to have given this a little "grander" feel with a wider view but this was as wide as I could get with my equipment.

My food product shoot got one of David's "Good job!" remarks. Although I didn't make the top 10 finalists, getting a thumbs up out of a group of 800+ was still pretty cool for me. If I do as well with this one, I just don't know what I'll do with myself.

Update

No joy from David on this shot. I was a bit luke warm on it myself but I found this to be incredibly difficult.
