Ovaltine

As a kid I used to just take a spoon full of Ovaltine and shove it in my mouth. Come to think of it I still do.

 

I've become really interested in playing with similar colors, bouncing lights and this top down perspective that I decided to do it again today. As they say practice makes perfect.

 

In this photo I mixed as much ambient light as possible into this shot and kept the flash powered down low enough to add some highlights as well as some shadow into the picture.

 

Strobist info:

 

1 580EX II (Group A) Master on camera disabled

1 580EX II (Group A) Slave 1/32 power bounced off ceiling upper camera left

1 550EX (Group B) Slave 1/32 power bounced off ceiling lower camera right

 

I know you're saying "Hold up your strobist info doesn't match the shadows." But I say they do because, it was easier for me to shoot it in landscape with the intention of flipping it to portrait in post.

1/80 f/4 ISO1600
