Day 9 of 365: Fresh

Played around with some toothpaste for this one. I like the mottled colour of this toothpaste and the glittery stuff that's in it.



Shoot technique:
Blob of toothpaste squeezed onto white card.
Canon EOS 5D with Canon 24-105mm f4 L ISM lens and 24mm extension tube set on tripod slightly angled downwards.
1 x 580 EX II flashgun set at 1/16th power high camera right snooted directly at blob.
1 x 580 EX II flashgun set at 1/32nd power camera left pointed at background for fill.

Shot settings:
f / 16.0, 1/60th second, 400 ISO

Post production:
Brightness and contrast adjusted to burn out background more.
Layer duplicated and brightened with layer mask added to reveal toothpaste from original layer.
