Behind The Lens
Location
This is a studio shot for a clientTime
Time of day is not relevant because it was lit in a studioLighting
White backdrop with the product Budweiser bottle of beer, spritzed with water and a slight mix of sugar, very little just enough to give the shine. The lighting was a strobe in a soft box overhead, and a strobe from behind with a snoot for a back light.Equipment
Nikon D 200, Nikon 60mm Micro Lens, 2 strobes, in the studio,Inspiration
A client needed shots of beersEditing
Not on this image, its straight forward. Although shooting in RAW you always need to color correct. I use Photoshop for that!In my camera bag
I usually do not carry a bag in the studio. I take a couple of camera bodies and a case of lenses that I believe I will need for the shoot. Extra batteries, cards, and so on. I have 4 bags that I use depending on the shoot. Lets start with a small shoot and I don't want to carry a lot of gear.

Digital is cheap, shoot, shoot, shoot and keep shooting. Take notes of what you did so you remember how and why you got the great shot! In the studio learn lighting rules and then you can break the rules and do what you want!
