How do you use flash to shoot beer and not blow the foam?

It looks like a cup of rosin to me.

With foam on the top.

Then again, I'm not a beer person.

Drink the beer first then take your photo

mmmmmmmm beer people

Can you say "light tent" ?

Or would you prefer it in a more natural habitat?

I would be trying to light it through the glass a little, probably from a rearward angle.

hehehe... I get enough weird looks with the LSII I'm sure a few heads would turn if I set up a light tent at the pub... "Dont mind me"

Jeez, now I want a pint. Where's the photo of the salted peanuts?

There should be a rule against posting nice beer pics in the daytime... matter of fact I've got it now! Luckily there's a Schoefferhofer Hefeweizen in the fridge.

MHD,

Guiness is a marvelous subject for photographing things of the beer variety. Definately use the 'special' cans with the ultimate froth which lasts forever. Other possibilities are Murphy's or Kilkenny. Irish beer is very photogenic. Irish people are more photogenic after drinking it.

Just adding some more depth to this most worthwhile thread.

Kind regards
