Default Lighting Glass & Shiny Object

Hi Guys,

Need some tips on lighting glass & shiny objects. Yesterday, I bought a red fighting fish and decided to use it as a subject to try out some shots. I placed the fish in a glass goblet & took some snaps but I kept on getting glare & reflections despite several adjustments in the set-up and settings.

Appreciate your suggestions & tips.. =)

The set-up: a remotely triggered SB-800 above the goblet, a DIY diffuser between the SB-800 & goblet, white photo paper under a glass & as backdrop.



After about a hundred snaps, only got one "acceptable" photo but it still had some reflection on the side & glare at the bottom.
