<p>I tried to photograph a beer with the lighting setup you can see on the first picture.<br> <img src="http://www.thephotoforum.com/attachments/beer-jpg.121978/" alt="" width="417" height="286" /><br> I tried white and black background (second picture). How is it possible that the droplets are so clearly visible on the photo above and almost invisible on my photographs (the photos are awful, i know, they are straight out of the camera, i was just experimenting).<br /><br /><img src="http://www.thephotoforum.com/attachments/beer1-jpg.121979/" alt="" width="421" height="318" /><br> The droplets are partly visible only when I add some side light (third picture), but there is no side light on the first picture (its only a back light). <br /><br /><img src="http://www.thephotoforum.com/attachments/beer3-jpg.121980/" alt="" width="464" height="338" /><br /><br />So what am i missing? Thanks for any tips!</p>
