Well that's definitely not happening for me, I don't have a boom, I can't shoot water drops with a spot light, and I can't shoot with the water parallel to the glass's opening when the glass is tilted.

Unless I missed something..


I was suggesting to learn how to control how light is absorbed/reflected off glass using light sources which are far easier to control. Then move onto flash.

You don't have to shoot water droplets, just see how light interacts with the glasses surface.

I'm trying to make it look better, here's what I have so far, straight from camera.

http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/271/f/9/f97872736c5e9b03780ec9a8b947e64e-d2zno2y.jpg

Any suggestions?


Well, the background looks much better. You moved the light source back/diffused?

The neck of the glass... maybe position the flash so it is central so the highlight is evenly spread?

The glass still looks kinda dull, regardless whether it has a droplet or not. It is also dirty.

You need a second light source.

I didn't wash it yet, I've just been trying to get the light better. :-/

I have no idea what to do about the extra light source, I only have that flash and my studio lights, and unless I don't do the water drops I can't do anything with the studio lights.

The background was a wall so I had to move my entire setup forward and I covered my wall with a piece of poster board so it's smoother and reflects better.

What are your studio lights?

Do you have lamps? You can put strong light bulbs in lamps and try that.
