When the Cream Hits the Spoon

Day 23 of an Unknown Number

"When the Cream Hits the Spoon"

 

While visiting the restaurant supply store a few weeks ago, my daughter spotted this spoon, and we had to have it. She uses it as a wand, and I thought it might make for a photograph at some point. The concept came to me as I was stealing it from an e-mail on food photography. So, there is a strip light directly above the spoon, aimed a bit towards the camera. This assured that the splash would be somewhat backlit for maximum splashiness. Behind camera was my new roll of diffusion, creating a wall of light. It was used to fill in the shadows, creating a direct reflection in parts of the spoon, thereby eliminating annoying and distracting reflections. The spoon was A-clamped to a stand, and the clamped part was removed in Photoshop. I used about six exposures, and used the best parts of each splash in the final image. Thanks for plopping in!!
