Used my laptop to create the lights in the background... Ambient light coming from the top right... And a little bit of bounce flash from the left at 1/32 power.
I was trying to give the impression of sunlight coming through the window. Nikon D300 with a 50mm f/1.8 AFS lens, 1/10 sec at f/16, ISO 200 with a single SB-700 hand held behind the scene.
This construction game brand was very popular among would-be engineers back in the 60ties and 70ties. These are part of my current hex-bolt modern version though. D300 50 f1.8 + Kenko 25mm tube f14 1/2.5s -0.3 EV ISO 200 MF
