Thanks, The cups were set on glass in front of a black background, the balls were bounced off of a table ( cropped out), the rest was shot in a fish tank, everything was done in front of a black cyc wall. Images were shot at 1/250 f8-f11, The light was on the left side of the tank and i put a reflector on the right side of the tank for some of the shots.

It was incredibly fun and I can't wait to do it again.

Beautifully done Goodstein - you've captured these in a unique way that photographers don't usually consider. I love the crisp, sharp, fresh nature of each. The side lighting really adds a nice three dimensional effect to them. - Stu
