Ah, I wish Kodak would make another pro level DSLR *eyes glaze over despondantly*
Anyway - Set up in my home studio, I had some logistical trouble with the lights etc, I couldn\'t get my flash head low enough so I took it off the stand and hand held it. Took light readings of aproximate values, set the camera settings and stood a mirror over the camera, balanced between two chairs. Basically, focused using AF and the old cable release, kept snapping away and moving the flash around to get different effects.
I wanted to light mostly from the side to emphasise the Pro 14n badge and have a large area of darkness off to the left - however maybe this makes the image unbalanced?
Really should have dusted my lens before this challenge too! ;)
A little on PS effects:
Shot in RAW and loaded my cam profile to get correct setings
Flipped horizontally
Cropped
Saturation +20
Boost contrast a little
Sharpen
Save

That camera has a cable release! Oh boy.
I feel the other items added to the photo and the tight crop adds a cluttered feeling. Maybe a bit more DOF to keep things in focus as well. Good Luck
