 I used an SB800 off-camera for backlighting. I had to leave the white spots on the kettle due to Basic editing rules.

I took inspiration for this shot from one of my favorites in flickr //www.flickr.com/photos/canbalci/401486046/.

Just one sugar in mine !! Really like this shot, like the way the steam makes the handle look almost transparent.

Peter Gabriel's song Steam was the first thing that popped up in my mind because I thought that would be the perfect title. Second thing was nice conversion and shot.
