Thought of trying something different for the background.. i love patterned background drop shots.. and here is my first attempt to do it with reflection of some strange things (like a wall + green box lid + blue-red lego tiles)... you can see the setup and the exit info in the comments..

this is a single strobe shot..why use two when one is enough??

guess few ppl will be curious about the setup.. here it goes...

Sometimes.. things don't fall straight

Via Flickr:
they change their path in water!!

the lemon hit the sides of the glass jar just before it fell in water.. creating first the drag then the down sinking.. somehow.. i liked this effect.

As Anshum pointed out earlier, i should have changed the b/g during the shoot.. but next time :)

Thirty kya??

so finally i start using the strobes.. the way i wanted to use...

two YN467 strobes fired with YN603 on the background (which is a blue kitchen towel). Lemon half dropped in jar of water. The yellow you see at the bottom (actually at the top as the shot is 180 degree rotated :D) is the yellow towel at the bottom of the.

By mistake shot in JPEG.. but fortunately no major damage because of that :)

Reason we see background not of same color (thought the towel was).. is that the strobe was fired where you see the light / whites :) quite intentional to create gradient b/g!

Comments / questions / kicks PLEASE!!
