Five grapes were halved with zig zag cuts. The grapes and duck were placed on a blue board. A blue background was taped to the back of the shower and the shower adjusted to provide a sparkling rain effect.
The board and duck were sprayed with water and the scene was lit with an SB-800 flash in commander mode from behind to illuminate the "rain". A tungsten light was turned on from above and a hand held flashlight used to add illumination to the halved grapes. The aperture was at the minimum f10 allowed for maximum depth of field. Used the Sigma 105 2.8 Macro lens. Cropped, slight adjustments to saturation and levels, resized and saved.
This shot was executed with the help of my daughters Nicola and Laura who arrived today to stay with us for a week! Thanks guys for the inspiration and creativity :)
