shot outside. I used 2 lowel flood lights (with blue gels) 2 nikon sb-600's (with grey and blue gels) set as slaves to onboard flash. blue foil paper backdrop, remote button and a tri-pod
stood half way between camera and back drop, poured popcorn from above and took shot with remote button,
the distance from lens to backdrop was aprox 5 feet. wind was blowing so the back drop wiggled a bit, which produced a wave effect.
Post Process. Photoshop, converted from raw, slight crop, cloned out couple of small imperfections, adjusted contrast , levels , highlight and shadows, reduced noise, sharpened , framed, reduced size, adjusted brightness, slightly sharpened again, saved as jpeg.
thanks for the comments. i am never sure what to say is abstract and what is not. so it was a task to do this challenge. it was also a mess.

| OOF throughout. Abstract food would indicate that I would not recognize the food immediately. I dont think this meets the criteria for abstract. I do like that there is depth between the popcorn and background, and the background color works well for this idea. |

| Nice job of creating "floating" popcorn. It would be nice to see more in focus. |

| Nice idea, I may have liked to see more DOF to have more of the popcorn in focus. |

| Now this is really cool. It reminds me of those pictures that you turn at different angles to get different views of it. |
