Ok, so I cheated a little bit with this picture. It didn't actually get taken on 5/30. I was traveling stand-by and spent the day running from one place to the next. I'd say I won't let it happen again, but who would I be kidding.

Anyway, to make up for it, I took two very different pictures on the following day. I set up a small "studio" next to a window for natural light, angled the purse to catch the highlights, and started shooting. It took a bit to get the angle and the exposure right, but it turned out pretty well. I didn't have my tripod with me, which would have helped with the sharpness.
