Since it was a proof of concept, I just grabbed a can of nuts that was just sitting around.  I wanted to have two different lighting tasks.  Light only the item on display.  Light the background separately.  My camera gear for this setup is the following:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A &#8211; Canon EOS 1D Mark III (manual mode: 1\/250th second, f\/5.0, ISO 200)<\/li>\n<li>B &#8211; Canon EF 100mm f\/2.8 Macro Lens<\/li>\n<li>C &#8211; Pocket Wizard MultiMAX (master)<\/li>\n<li>D &#8211; Pocket Wizard MultiMAX (slave, channel A)<\/li>\n<li>E &#8211; Canon Speedlite 580EXII (manual, 1\/4th power, 14mm zoom)<\/li>\n<li>F &#8211; LiteDome Q39<\/li>\n<li>G &#8211; Pocket Wizard MultiMAX (slave, channel B)<\/li>\n<li>H &#8211; Canon Speedlite 580EX (manual, 1\/8th +0.7 power, 50mm zoom) (Roscolux #4790 90 magenta)<\/li>\n<li>I &#8211; gobo (which stands for go-between) (a punchcard of all things)<\/li>\n<li>J &#8211; foam-core board with black foam sheets taped to the visible top<\/li>\n<li>K &#8211; Sekonic L-758DR light meter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-2N8I6646.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-2N8I6646s.JPG\" alt=\"Food Strobist Test Shot\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nAnd this is the final result!  How cool!  It is the first time that I have used two different zones of light, the first time I have used a color gel on a flash, and the first time that I have used a gobo to block the light from hitting something (in this case, the can).\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-2N8I6647.JPG\" alt=\"Lit with front strobe\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nHere is how it looks when it is lit only with the front strobe.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-2N8I6648.JPG\" alt=\"Lit with rear strobe\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nHere is how it looks when it is lit only with the rear strobe.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-2N8I6641.JPG\" alt=\"Using white foam core\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nBy the way, this is how it looks using a white foam core board.
