Today's theme is sugar.  This first shot of sugar being poured from a spoon into a coffee cup was lit by one Nikon SB-900 flash off to the right and a little behind the subject.  A white reflector card was placed to the left to fill in the shadows.  The lens was a Nikon 105mm Macro at f/16.  All images were photographed with a Nikon D3x.

This photo of an assortment of sugar types was photographed with the 85mm Tilt-shift Nikkor at f/4.5.  I like working fairly wide open with lens.  Tilting it covers the important focus points, while the open aperture still maintains a soft focus in unimportant areas.

This is the same setup as the top photo, but the lighting here is a soft window light from the left with a bit of shadow fill from a silver card on the right. Photographed with the 105mm Micro Nikkor at f/22.
