Heya Scottie,
first of thanks, it's always nice to hear I took a picture that didn't suck.
Second, it would be easier to chat or e-mail if you have any furthur inquiries, MSG or e-mail me on MSN at
[email protected]
Yes one flash is enough, I only used my one SB800 for these shots.
----------------------------
Jack Daniel's bottle
----------------------------
Setup:
-1 white bed sheet draped over a table with a cushion behind it to hold it up.
-Over the sheet was about 4 feet of sulifane wraping paper (clear coloured wrapping paper, $8.99 at local craft store)
-The flash itself is lying sideways (portrait orientation) derectly behind the bottle, behind the sheet and on the table. Nothing proping it up.
Lens used:
-Nikon 18-70mm (kit lens for D70)
Settings:
-Flash: on remote (if you need help with remote I would be happy to chat with you on MSN or e-mail)
-Flash: in manual setting, 1/16 power - set by camera in flash menu.
-Camera: 1/90s at f/8, ISO200
some settings aprox
Post processing:
-Photoshop - Filters - Distort - Diffuse glow.

Single orange shot
----------------------------
Setup:
-White paper towel on table with a black fabric sudio background draped over something to prop it up in the BG
-Nice quality wine glass (very clear)
-The glass was almost completely full (for best splash effect)
-Flash was off to the left, just slightly behind the black backgound in order to avoid getting any light on it
Timing:
I had my hand on the shutter button and I was dropping the orange, it was very simple, as I let go I hit the button and it worked great
Lens used:
-Nikon 18-70mm (kit lens for D70)
Settings:
-Flash: on remote
-Flash: in manual setting, 1/16 power
-Camera: 1/90s at f/8, ISO200
some settings aprox
Post processing:
-Photoshop, levels

Multiple orange shot
------------------------------

-Nice quality wine glass (very clear)
-The glass was almost completely full (for best splash effect)
-Flash was off to the right
Timing:
I had my hand on the shutter button and I was dropping the orange, it was very simple, as I let go I hit the button and it worked great

Water tap shot
------------------------
Setup:
-Hand held using a household sink
Timing:
-I had the tap dripping on a slow constant basis and shot by trying to match the timing
Lens used:
-Nikon 70-300mm G-type lens WITH a Nikon close up lens atatchment No.6T (cost : $100-$150can, it atatches to the lens like any other filter but allows you to get closer to your subject thusly making it bigger in the frame. I was about 12 inches away rather than 2 meters away without it)
Settings:
-Flash: on remote and off to the left (fairly close to the camera)
-Flash: in manual setting, 1/16 power
-Camera: 1/90s at f/8, ISO200
some settings aprox
Post processing:
-Photoshop, levels (there was a little hint of background left over)
I hope this helps, MGS me if you need anything.
