... with a mobile phone photo editor =D

... white Christmas(?) High key photography can and should be taken into account already on the shooting settings, and overexpose the image at least +1 EV, or even more! But then especially on digital photography comes the danger of loosing most of the details. Therefore it is maybe a better approach to do the rest on photo editor. A "good image" should also have a spot of full black and then some pure white. But on a subject like this there are number of problems. There are no really dark areas, and if the background is very white, then the edges of a white subject disappears totally. Here I did number of things. I first overexposed +1 EV, then did quite much editing on Snapseed software, like adding some white vignetting. But even that did not seem to be enough. So, I had to give the final touch on PicMonkey. It of course also much depends on the context as well. On a bad computer screen it is not easy to get anything right. And when image becomes viewed against white background, then it becomes obvious if there are no pure white on the image. And vice versa. On black background something that is supposed to be a high key image quite likely looks that way. On notes I give you some other shots on the topic, to give you the scale and other point of views on this tiny snow globe cupid and its larger companion. These kitsch cupids are great practice targets! And it is like shooting the shooter! =D Camera details Camera: Sony Xperia Z1 Compact mobile phone F5321 Exposure: 0.03 sec.

For some reason EXIF dropped out during the editing?

My wife has made this bottle. More shots on notes. All but one shot taken with Canon G5 X, and straight out of the camera. The rightmost picture on notes is taken with Sony Xperia Z1 Compact phone camera, and enhanced with a "HDR effect" on Snapseed software.
