I shot this last night while playing around in my new studio (translation- the cars are parked outside).

This reminds me of the sangria I had at the restaurant tonight. So refreshing-looking. Very well done, Jim! :-) #228372Colette M. Metcalf October 10, 2003

Very nice!!Kathleen Clemons October 11, 2003
Well this is just perfect, Jim. :) #228588Jim Mires October 12, 2003
Susana,The setting were, f/11, 1/125, 24-70 @70mm, one off camera flash placed behind a white diffuser panel about two feet behind the wine and fired with a remote (on camera) trigger. The shutter speed is not really important as you are relaying on the flash to freeze the action. The picture was taken in my almost completely dark garage, it has to be dark or you will get all kinds of reflections in the glass. I used a remote cable release in one hand while poring the wine with my other hand.
