Taken under a ~24x18" home made softbox, with a vivitar 285 flash in the back of it. The softbox is sitting about 2" above the top of the sauce bottle.
Backdrop is a bit of white paper curved up at the back.
Camera using manual settings, as the flash dosn't do TTL. approximated metering using 'TLAR' method.
Post processing was just crop, scale, USM in gimp.
The fish were nice, but I didn't eat the chips.

I figured on the kiwi connection the wild appitite is a favorite of mine. have you tried the GIANT Jaffas on sale at New World, congrat on the placing I rated it highly. BTW my son in Japan misses Marmite, and timtams and weetbix, so we have to keep posting food parcels from home. Oh the expense goes on even when they leave home!!!!!!!!
I'd like to thank the fish for the 20th placing... :-).
I think NZ is the only place you can get the fish, I did a bit of travelling in a previous job and never saw them anywhere..
If you're a ExPat Kiwi and want a couple sent over, PM me and I'll post em. :-).
Edit: 4 in the top 20? I think we need to wrangle a kiwi top three effort somehow. Maybe a challenge requiring photos of hokey-pokey icecream, Jaffas and Chocolate fish?
Man I miss chocolate fish! They don't have them here in Germany. Cool picture. Composition & lighting are great.
4 Kiwis in the top 20 is pretty good I think. 20%
Though I love blue ... I feel the blue in this image is a distraction. A lighter colored plate may have helped. Would also have liked more of the bottle in the frame.
