Default Abbot Ale shot

Its true we have run out of beer and we plan to do more shopping in 3-4 days. I decided to photograph the can to get some further benefit

The general arrangement was to show the 'All gone....' situation with a crushed can on the foreground and open cans to the rear. This is the first shot I have used a mirror, its the bathroom mirror I took of the wall earlier

Black velvet was wrapped around a picture frame and provided the background and the mirror did the rest (see pic1).

Initially I decided only simple lighting was required and intended to use one flash and brolly. Although pleased with the result of one flash to the left I thought to improve the shadows to the right of the picture by adding another (pic2). Main light set to full and the second to 1/2 providing some shadow, but not much - this setup is dismantled and I wish I had experimented with less power on the right (pic3)
