Stop/Blur is a challenge with hot lights, or continuous lighting. Typically, when a flash is used for a photograph, two exposures are taken simultaneously: flash captures the subject and freezes it’s movement, where the shutter speed takes in the ambient light of the atmosphere. But with hot flashes in a studio, you need enough lights to crank up the shutter speed for a moving subject. For my shots, I kept the ISO at 100 to record maximum clarity and used five lights and a reflector to highlight the liquid. My subject? The finest whiskey west of the Mississippi: Stranahan Colorado Whiskey. Below is my pick, and the remaining at the end of the post are other experiments with the shot.
