king's knight

Lit with off-camera flash using Nikon's Creative Lighting System (CLS). A purple wine glass
covered with a white paper towel was used to "gel" the light and soften the color slightly.
(This is what you do when you don't have fancy stands, shoot-thru umbrellas, or other goodies.)

Creative technique and excellent results, Dave! The wine glass makes a nice diffuser and holds a tasty treat for the after shot celebration as well.
