A still life arrangement photographed from the same position each time, but moving the diffused light source around at the same level and then again at a raised level with one shot with the light directly pointing downwards. I chose Scotch Bonnets for my round object with relief. Due to the lack of lighting equipment, and space in my house, the whole thing is a little rudimentary, but successful enough to see the effect of the longer shadows when the light was horizontal and shorter shadows when the light was raised at an angle. In addition, you can see hardly any shadow with the light pointing directly downwards. You can also see that when the light is facing towards the camera, a silhouette is formed.
The best three-dimension shape is formed from the lighting to the side, but slightly raised. I prefer the pictures with the horizontal lighting though because of the higher contrast and longer shadows.
