Almonds in water – Eyes of bubbles

DSC_9593

First shot was a standard shot, without flash. It was good, but not anything interesting, because I wanted to capture the bubbles in the water

Switched off the light, because of the glare ( see below )

Tried with the following camera setup with flash and f > 5.6, so that all of them are in focus

Learnings

  1. For above the subject shot ( like this one ) make sure the camera lens and the subject is parallel to each other. I got escaped becaue it was a close up shot. If you zoom out, you feel you were in some space station or something
  2. Try different angles for flash, with diffusion ( plastic card ) and without
  3. Photos taken with flash look a lot different in camera and on computer. As per the LCD I was not satisfied with the first shot and took 6 more. But at the PC, I ended up choosing the first one itself
