Well, the Kitchen Aid went to a slow, grinding death, so I went for a walk and found this at Starbucks; or Coffebucks, if you watch Scrubs

Drinking wine and listening to Duran Duran’s “Hold Back The Rain” whilst shooting this, boy I feel good!!

Photographed on a shooting table, with a large sheet of white Lexan as the base.

Two studio strobes, the principal light is coming from behind a 7×7-foot Dacron diffuser as my main & rear light, and a small 20×20-inch softbox to the left front bouncing onto a 36-inch round white reflector to the right.

A ratio of 2 to 1 from main to fill lights.

EXIF:
1/250 sec @ f/9.0

I have been playing around with how to light still lifes, these were created with studio strodes, but I think I will re shoot with hot light and see what I get.
