Thank you Bailey. Obviously, it is always tough to photograph shiny stuff without your reflection appearing, and you've done a great job; in fact if anything the reflections add intrigue with the label and some just visible words of some kind. Nicely controlled lighting.
Thank you Alex.
The top image on the right is the original colour version. The bottom image is a crop of just the label.
We were visiting a friend of Mrs. B and her family at their home in Wuxi, China last week when I took the photo. It was evening and the lighting in the room was casting an annoying, distracting shadow of the phone onto the wall.
I used my flash as a key light and bounced the flash off the ceiling so that some of the reflected light from the flash would fall behind the phone onto the wall thus eliminating the shadow.
The "....visible words of some kind." are in English and Chinese.

Thanks for the added info, Bailey, I like how the bounce flash has also meant that you don't get a reflection of the flash distracting in the surfaces. For what it is worth, the 'intriguing label' I was talking about is the one that is only visible as a reflection in the bottom right of the base; it seems to have string or a key ring at one end and I cannot quite work out where it actually is in relation to the phone. Just me being nosy, but for me it is detail like this that draws me in.

No problem Alex. When I zoom in on the label the writing is still too unclear to read. Maybe I should send the image over to the CSI computer geeks to run it through their "magic" software that always seems to be able to enhance totally blurred car number plates so that they are readable  |
