I've shot glasses of water a lot of times already and I've always looked for ways to find a new twist to it. And I must admit that I've failed more times than I've succeeded. But despite this I still like shooting this subject matter, so here's my latest shoot with a glass of water.
There's really nothing new about it, a plain clear glass with water in it and another variation with water being poured in it.
What's new this time was how I lit the subject and the background.
It's just one source of light and a white reflector board. A speedlight was placed camera right, behind a cabinet door. The door have this slanted wooden planks with spaces in between each plank.
I placed the subject near the background wall so the sole speedlight can illuminate both the subject and the background. I think those streaks of light produced by the planks are cool and that's the new "twist" I have for this yet another glass of water shoot.
Speedlight was set at 1/4 power output, camera settings was ISO 200, 1/200, f 5.6 and tungsten white balance.

Hope this helps. Happy shooting.
