 Pity about the spots of light on the glass, but whadayagonnado.

Once the glass filled up with stuff that blocked light out so completely, I had to figure out how to light the contents without massive reflections on the front of the glass. So the peanuts are actually lit with torchlight from above during the exposure. The two spots of light at the bottom of the glass are from the table reflections. Better that I suppose. I wasn't counting on the resulting exposure (even with the use of shadow/highlight) being so poor though. I can't tell that from my end :(

Ack. Nothing to see here folks.... Let's just pretend this ugliness never happened.

This has all the makings of being great but the color and exposure on the pineapple and peanuts seems off.

Gorgeous. Excellent lighting, although the front lighting seems to add an odd blue cast to the shells.
