The detective's lair..

This is a still-life shot I tried after checking out quite a few of Karl Taylor's videos and tutorials. I am starting to love still-life. The lighting plays such a major role and it's very interesting. Not just that, but when you get a good picture, it is really satisfying. :) So, here goes. My first official still-life shot. :)

As usual, a monochrome shot as well as a color shot. For this shot, I did a little basic editing on Photoshop.

Picture details:

Aperture: F/16
Shutter: 1.3 sec.
ISO: 2000
Lens: 50 mm.
Flash: Off (But, external lighting was used.)
Camera: Canon EOS 550D
