Don't try this shoot. You'll end up frustrated, and then drunk.

This was supposed to be my "test" shot, as it was the ugliest bottle. I didn't quite get my hand out of the way in time, but the timing was spot on. However, the next two bottles fired off during setup, and the last bottle didn't quite get captured right.

Luckily, one of the four bottles actually tasted good (Cook's Spumante).

Strobist Info:
580exII, 8" softbox, behind bottle, 1/16
430exII, bare, in front of bottle, 1/16
580exII, bare left of frame and in front of bottle, 1/16

Had a few leftover eggs, so decided to try multiple eggs. Sadly, the pellet ran out of juice and didn't make much of an impact on the blue egg :(

1 430exII at 8 o'clock, 1/16, 8" softbox

This is what I do when I'm bored during meetings...come up with strange ideas.

Tried a new lighting technique I picked up at a seminar, which is to use some highlights from the back and to the side. I like it.

Strobist Info:
2 580exIIs, 1/128 power at 2 and 10 o'clock, bare
1 430exII at 1/16th(?) power at 5 o'clock, 8" softbox

Yep, it's a kiwi. Shot for a local contest theme "green".

Another photo from my "go blow up Christmas ornaments" shoot. In the process of passing through three glass ornaments with jello, the pellet somehow changed course and missed the final ornament.

Eh, whatever. It's still cool :)
