This afternoon I was feeling inspired to shoot some still life photos, but this time I wanted to have reflections in the shots. I got the idea from Strobist and wanted to imitate the shots that he took, and try some that were a little different as well.

If you visit the link to the Strobist website, David Hobby outlines and illustrates how he took his pictures. I did mine following the same basic idea. I had a piece of clear plexiglass sitting on a white table. Under the table is my ghetto speedlite with a wireless remote. Above the table, camera right and almost in-front of the camera is another speedlite (Canon 430 EX) with a softbox.

The speedlite under the table is being fired at a white wall and giving a backlight to the glass bottles. The softbox in-front of the bottles then lights up the front of each bottle.
