 This was fun to shoot, I originally was planning on just a nice reflection type shot, but I got to thinking and realized that Natica and water would be a sensible combination. So out came the cups of water! I've been getting quite sophisticated at shooting water lately. When I get the time, one of these days I plan on just shooting water itself for a local art magazine. Any how, It came out great, I also shot with high ISO becauase of the bright subjects, so I could really push it (noise is more of a problem in the shadows, not the highlights) and get a faster shutter speed. All of it is lit with "el Cheapo" 200 watt house lights, nothing to complex here. In post I only adjusted the images black and white points for a little bit more contrast. I did an in camera white balance on the backgroud to get nice, crisp, neutral colors. As usual, my best work is shot around 2 or 3 AM and this was no exception.....

There is a hot spot on the cap, but other than that I like this shot.

I like it you should sell it to Nautica so they can use it in an ad but the one thing I don't like is the tilt you gave to it
