I have been having so much fun with this piece of plexiglass! Sad.....I know. Anywho, I had no idea in mind (typical), so I searched for anything that might look interesting on said piece of plexiglass. I first tried a wooden sake box, but it was clearly lacking something. Moisture!!! When I saw how sexy water looked on the surface, I knew that would help the image. Because I would never intentionally spill any sake, I decided to go with dirty sous vide water. The battery was almost an afterthought. However, once I propped it up, I centered the image around it. At the last moment, I thought I would drop some different colors of holi powder in the tiny puddles. I then remembered that I still had some tiny ball bearings, and thought I would drop them in the water. Because they are so small, the surface tension pulled them into the puddles........aside from a few strays. As for the lighting, there is a diffused beauty dish, very close at camera-left. The second strobe is aimed at the background paper, and it provides the lovely gradient across the plexiglass. Personally, I love the way the light works over that bottom, camera-left puddle. Thanks for dropping in!!
