The story behind the shot – G and T reflections

This was taken on a black acrylic board with a white one as the background. Since the bottle was blue I lit the shot using a flashgun with blue gel to the left of the camera. I placed a silver reflector opposite the flashgun to lift the shadows on the right hand side.

Camera settings were 100ISO (the lower the ISO the higher the image quality), f16 (a small aperture for front to back sharpness) at 1/125 second with the flash metered to suit.
