Default Strawberry Splash

How I did this.
[IMG]3-7-2011[/IMG]

[IMG]lighting-diagram-1300661704[/IMG]

1/250sec.
f/8.0
ISO 500

The flashes where triggered with cowboystdio radio triggers.

I used the 6FPS on my 50D. Just hold the fun-button down and drop the strawberry.

Got rid of some drops and bumped up the saturation in GIMP.

I consider myself a armature. Any praises/commits/criticisms/ are welcome.

Well done Matthew, great shot.

Did you use any negative lighting to pick up the definition on the glass?

I love the term 'negative lighting,' it's nearly Orwellian and for no reason
