Had this shot with just the bottom book on an angle and the glasses and a black background. Decided to reshoot with the bottom book on an angle with the glasses and another book in the background. Small studio lighting, 4 clamp lamps, two above and two on either side. In affords in enough light to have shot this handheld as my tripods are not always cooperative and don't tilt to the right. Oh well. Should do blah again....guess I'll go read a book, or maybe a manual. Ooooo....got a new photo mage to read as well. Later!

Now if the rear book had been in focus through the top half of the lenses and the closer book in focus through the bottom this could have been soooo much more interesting
