Lemon splash into water – another cliche shot that like water-drop shots is something that should be tried.
A rainy sunday today finally made me try this using a couple of flashes and a glass flower vase (as my tank). I did a bunch of others – but the cliched lemon had to be the first!

WOW! Love this Vikram! Perfect capture buddy! Can you explain home-made snooted? The lighting on this is perfecto :)
Thanks Shelly – nice to hear from you. Thanks for the compliment on the lighting.
You’re going to laugh – a snoot is used over a light source in order to provide more directional control on the light. I use the DIY option of cutting the right shape out of one end of a Pringles can so I can slip it over the flash head. I used it as the light was hitting the front of the lens as well as bouncing off the glass in all directions – this kept it right where I wanted to.

Cliche or not, this is a fabulous shot my friend!!
Thanks Ursula!! Hey I never said cliches were bad. Just feel they’re something I need to do to find out ‘how’.

Aaaahahaha! Yep, I laughed….but then I quickly thought…..man Vikram is brilliant!
LOL! – I thought it’d evoke thoughts of ‘cheap’. It works, so that’s all that matters.
