DIRECT REFLECTION

When we took the picture of the cheese grater it was bit of a difficult task to get a good lighting on it. This was so because since its a metal object any light pointed at it would be reflected into another direction.  Thats why controlling where the reflection lands is the key to creating a perfect composition. So in that case the definition of angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection is that the angle the light hits the object is the same angle the light leaves the object in the other direction. So the best way to take this type of photo is to use a a white foam board to reflect back to the greater to create a brighter picture.
