What’s Your Preference?

Hello everyone

This is an idea that came up while I was at a friend house and luckily my gear were in my car. He had lots of bottle lying around so we stacked them up and started shooting.

How I took it:

The first step was to take manual focus on them in a well lit room like it's shown in the picture below

The second step was turning all the lights off and positioning LED flash light behind the bottles. ( I got the LED light idea from this week DPS weekly news letter which was "25 MUST HAVE Photography Accessories Under $25"). The result was as you can see below:

The third step as can be seen was to light up the front of the bottles and to do that I used canon EX430 speedlight which I hand held above the bottles and started randomly flashing the bottles a few times while the 6 seconds exposures was going.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my thread and since I am an amateur I am open for suggestions if anyone has any.

Thanks, I didn't combine any pictures. The two pictures show my steps to reach the final result which is one picture slightly processed in Photoscape (Contrast and little darken)
