Jello juice - always present in my kitchen.



Please note - with all of my images so far, I have at least done color corrections. This is Straight from the camera - no alterations.

here's the data -
ISO 200
1/125 second
f 5.6
50 mm focal length

A bathrobe over a kitchen bowl. A seamless sheet of white paper lit from behind by my strobe at 1/16 power. The glass was 30 inches from background. Camera was 4 feet from subject. My wife poured the juice into the glass. By the way, this was not a series of multiple shots. This is my first attempt and I snapped the shutter at exactly the right moment. very lucky - but I did it.

35mm on a $40 crap lens with the front element removed. It makes an excellent macro lens. :) distance of about 2" from subject.
