Thanks all, it was fun experimenting, I happen to have a day off so the kids were at school and my wife was at work so I had the studio(garage) all to myself. During the shoot I noticed the light hitting the table creating larger spots as they got farther from the background and I played a lot with the position of the strobe behind the pegboard to get the effect just right, I never noticed the 'floating' spots in the little LCD of my camera, but was pleasantly surprised when got the images into lightroom.

FABULOUS IDEA Barry, I love the b/g and the green colour. A great shot.

Cheers, Vikas.

I was just thinking what Lonnit said before reading her comment! LOL Cool idea with the pegboard Barry - it looks like it must have been fun experimenting with it. - Kelly

Yes, that's what intrigued me - the floating dots at the bottom. What I'd really like here would be for the back side of the box to be made black, or solid green, except where the glass is. I think that would look rather wild. ~ Lonnit

Wonderfully executed. The dots at the bottom seem to be floating.
