Gears and Rust

This is a shot of a $20 pocket watch I bought on Amazon. I broke it apart and exposed it to white vinegar fumes for 24 hours and it caused this nice rust/corrosion.

Title
Liberty School
Description
I got the idea on how to do this still life from an old British photog named Phillip McCordall. He has a bunch of how-to videos on YouTube and it was this one that inspired me. I used a Canon 580EX speedlite on 1/16th power in a 24x24 soft box facing straight down. Two white foam core boards we positioned on either side and two black boards were used to cover up most of the white boards so only skinny white reflections are seen on the side of the glass (I used cranberry juice in the glass BTW). I took another exposure where I moved a white board in front of the bottle to highlight the label then composited that into the final image.

I found this old key in my back yard when I was 8 and kept it ever since. I also had some leftover coins from a trip to Denmark to add to the composition. I realize that it looks completely posed but I like it anyway.

Have you ever bought produce just to photograph it? I don't really like lemons or limes but wanted to try some stills with this kind of subject. The lighting is two very hot 500 watt Smith Victor lamps (3200k) outside a homemade EZCube.

I've tried a bunch of these but there's always something wrong either color-wise or composition-wise but this one turned out half-way decent, I still need to work on these kinds of shots. I used a shop lamp and the light table for light sources. Taken December 1999.
