Hmm... :-)

(It's actually pink sugar sprinkles in a Florence flask.

Strobist:
580EX M1/2 through white diffusion panel (part of a product shot box)
430EX M1/16, goboed by a piece of black foam core with a hole cut / punched into it.
The Florence flask sits on top of the black foam core with the hole.
Piece of black foam core masking taped to a box of fruit loops cereal as background / gobo. This piece is cut such that it barely fills the field of view of the camera side to side.

I then upped the saturation, vibrance and a little bit of clarity in Lightroom.

See here for the same shot without the 430EX in the picture, for darkfield illumination of the glass:

	kcl_seattle says: Looks a little chunky for a love potion, would be difficult to swallow easily, but then maybe thats the point of "love" potion ... cool flask though!! :-) Posted 4 months ago. ( permalink )
	ttstam says: Thanks, guys! :-) If the bottle was empty, I think the other one would look a bit better. As of right now you can see there's stuff in the bottle and it really should be lit. I included it mostly to show what it is with just the darkfield strobe firing (I should have repeated with just the bottom strobe firing, oh well). And I really should clean the glass next time :-) Thanks! :-). Actually it really reminded me of mana and magic potions in video games, especially the 1980s era adventure games. But I figured everyone knew the song "Love Potion #9". -- Seen next to a fellow photo of Seattle Flickr Meetups. (?) Posted 4 months ago. ( permalink )
