Interesting, but would be better if your hand was more out of the shot,
Like the way you used the gallon jug for diffusion.

Fortunately it's only Bud, if it were good beer I would be upset(yes i'm a beer snob

) pretty cool set up.

I totally agree. It would be better if he removed the oven and the refridgerator from his home and left only the cabinet.

Out of interest what arm setup are you using to hold the flash in your setup shot? I've been on the look out for a light flash holding setup

My thoughts exactly.

Try lowering your aperture. May look more interesting. But I don't know, not really feeling it to be honest. Do you have a dart? I'd probably take one with it standing straight up and a dirt stuck to it with the beer leaking. That might be a cool shot.

Its a cymbal stand for drums. there very sturdy since they have to hold cymbals being smashed from hard hitting drummers like me.

When I first set this shot up i wasn't planning on using a knife to stab the can. I wanted to open the can and have it flying out of the top, but, when I did that shot it barely fizzled out (stupid wide mouth cans). so this was just a last ditch effort to get something out of it. I didn't really think of the dof of my arm and hand untill after, but I wan't going to have to drink another beer! I also wanted to pull my sleeve up, but forgot in the last preparation.
