Had some equipment setup downstairs as beetleboy and xorl whipped by to check some gear out, thought it'd be cool to try something with it before I packed it away. Thought of a few concepts in the shower in order to figure the best way to light up the glass/beer and handle the reflections although just firing away shot after shot and pixel peeping tends to get the method down pat
The setup can be seen herebut basically a 540EZ is just behind the bottle at 1/128th and 24mm while the label is being lit by a strobe and softbox just right of the bottle. Lots of black muslins to kill the light. The flashes are being triggered by a 550EX on my camera and a series of optical slaves. Beer in freezer for a few mins before I started, was tempted to whip the water spray out on it though the droplets would look a bit big.
At this stage, rather tempted to try the "label light" with a white brolly instead of a softbox in order to kill any reflections other than the rim light for the 1st shot but it might end up looking a little static. C&C Appreciated.
