I shot this by taking two wine glasses and taping them end-to-end and setting them in a large pan (to catch the liquid)

Then I put my softbox with the 430exII directly behind it to rimlight the glass. Once I got that, I made some koolaid and started pouring.

I had the camera tethered and had a remote shutter trigger attached. I shot it in continuous mode.

I tilted the camera to get the "corner to corner" effect.

Supurb shot, fantastic rim light on the glass... great work

Thanks very much!

Love it!

I would have liked to have seen the liquid to be a darker red though, there is something about the lightness of it that makes it look fake (ie while aiming to simulate red wine)...

Don't get me wrong though - that is an awesome shot

Thanks....I used what I had...lol. I would have used wine but koolaid is cheap and I don't get paid to do these!

Haha yeah that's what I assumed I was thinking - if you ever bother trying it again, just make up the koolaid in a more concerntrated manner...

Or actually - could this be something changed in post? I have never really played around with subtly trying to change a specific colour etc....

If you don't mind I might grab the shot and have a play?

Not at all....have at it.

Great work!

Thanks very much!

Very good work, rpavich!

I think you could use the burn and saturation brush tool to make the koolaid darker.

That is an awesome shot!!
