I meant to enter this in the July free study, but I was busy reading the book, and didn't get the post processing done in time.
I went to Target and got the biggest lampshade they had, then used duct tape to tape a flash into it, then taped a (backwards) baseball cap to the flash. I have a wireless trigger for the flash. Even with the baseball cap, I had to balance everything just right to keep it from falling off my head. The flash sitting on top of my head was surprisingly painful.
I was holding the camera remote inside the book.
I also lit the shot with another flash (through an umbrella) from the side.
Then I returned the lampshade to Target and got my money back.
I finally had to seek out this picture after seeing it as your profile picture for so long. Great shot. How did you do the light in the lamp shade? I can identify with getting distracted with the book and missing the deadline.
