Fake booze!

I got asked to quickly shoot some shots of alcohol for somebody working on a project. I didn't have time to set up my strobes, so I just used the onboard flash... good enough.

The shots aren't stunning but I did learn something that will help those who want to do stock photos and get a nice "head" on their beer shots, or foam on cappuccino shots. Buy one of those liquid soaps that use a foaming pump.... viola! All the foam you ever need!

The soap I have is actually amber, so it coloured the water nicely and I then added a few pumps of foam on top.

wow creative lol

Nice. Thanks for the foam tip- looks good.

Nice idea. It works really well.

What did they taste like though?

Way to use your head... nice stuff!

Cool. Very innovative. But the foam looks a little bit too "soapy". It might slip past some, but I think a lot of people are going to look at that and scratch their heads (no pun intended)and see that something isn't quite right.

Thanks I hope more accomplished photographers can use this foam soap trick.
Roffy, looking again, I think the 2nd picture is not quite right, mainly because the foam is not flat on the top, eh? I was in a bit of a rush and didn't have time to fix it, so it will have to do

I think ginger ale would have worked better than water too, since it would have bubbles in the drink.

PS. Tasted great! My insides are nice and clean
