Most of you know my dirty-little-open-fact… I really, REALLY, REALLY like Mountain Dew. In high school my friends and I referred to this golden elixir as the “Essence of Life” or Essence for short.

40mm f/36 1/100s SB-600@ 1/128 power from underneath
This was a hard shot for me. I had to find a platform so that the flash was under the glass, and focusing in the dark was a challenge to say the least. Lighting the handle was the hardest,and after I had finally given up I noticed a flashlight, bummer.

That really captures the essence of Essence! Love this one. Is that the ice I love?
