Here's a little shot I've been working on in practice and in my mind for a while. We picked up these glass fishing floats in Lincoln City, OR during a vacation one year. Looking at some of the other cool things people have done with lighting beer bottles, etc., I thought this would be a perfect subject.
After several different shoots I'm starting to get some very interesting results. Some neat colors and textures are really starting to show. I think the trick on this on though is to get rid of the super bright highlight caused by the flash firing directly back at the camera. I tried a little post processing but nothing would reasonably clean that up.
The trick I believe will be to light this thing from below so the flash highlight is straight out the top. I've seen it done with a lot of other objects and the effect is just awesome. If it could make a relatively homogeneous bottle of corona look amazing then it should make this float absolutely pop.
Check back soon and I'll probably have gotten this thing lit the way I really want to see it.
