Attatched is the lighting plan for the strawberry drop. Once again the key to positioning the flash is Flash Burst Duration and NOT light output.
Positioning of the Metz may seem a bit strange as its main output is towards the black velvet. Its position was to allow spill light to catch the bottle only, and the black velvet absorbed the bulk of its output. Strawberry being totally lit by the Vivitar.
As both flashguns were on minimum power light balance was by moving the flash units relative to the subject.
The black flag was to limit possibilities of flare from the Vivitar with the Stofen diffuser as the end of the flash unit was just out of frame.
