Red wine splash!

david.kittos has added a photo to the pool:

Red wine being poured against a black background.

Another one for my stock portfolio, I had shot a similar image a couple of years ago, it was time to get it right:)

Strobist
Black background
Behind the blackground I used a large diffusion screen to light the edges of the glass and the liquid.
Used 3 x Nikon SB28 BB @ 1/32 + 0.3 power. They were on a triflash bracket behind the diffusion screen and aimed at the edges of the screen, ie the part of the screen not covered by the dark background
Triggered with Cactus v4

The black background covered what was seen by the viewfinder, as descibed in LS&M
