Cool off...
I’m loving product photography and can see myself getting into this more. Water was the obvious choice for this shot, appreciate any feedback you may have?
Thank you :-)

Just a few shots - not of the art but the building interior!

The Sun and the Moon: Edited to add last photo
I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

Sterling in silhouette
I held a lighting workshop recently. Sterling was the model. I rarely shoot silhouettes but I wanted to incorporate that arch into a shot. Backlighting became an obvious choice.

I like it honestly reminds me of a shot I did of cool water years ago. If you can swing it I would go for a faster shutter speed to try to stop the water action more so it looks less fuzzy. Also different background color I just feel like the black isn't doing justice for the blue bottle.
Hi Michael, thanks for the constructive feedback! In all honesty, this isn’t one I wanted in my portfolio for those exact reasons. Since then I have a full strobe set up, where as this was captured when I was building up experience with splash photography. Totally agree with you though and thank you for commenting, I appreciate it 👍😊
Absolutely, can't wait to see your future work and maybe a final of this. What strobe set up did you end up getting?
Thanks Michael 👍
I ended up going for the new Bowen’s set up - the XMS500’s. I’ve been using them a fair bit and they’re holding up well, a little disappointed that the LCD display screen on one of the strobes came loose on day one, but it was easily put back in with superglue lol but apart from that they’re good.
