Tim, for the first round of shots I had the refrig literally full of cans (which you couldn't really see, except to know there were actually cans there) but they weren't lined up properly. I hated it that some were turned, upside down etc. (I'm not the most observant person on the spot) so I decided I had to do the whole thing again, much as I hated the thought. The second round I made sure they were perfect before I started shooting (with my back against a hot stove!). Less cans also improved the lighting. I had cans in the door, too, but it came out blue so I cropped it and liked the symmetry better anyway. My fridge is spotless now, but I never want to do this again! Helen

Helen...really liked the lighting...Use my fridge next time, it could use cleaning out twice. How many can rotations did it take to line them all up to satisfaction? Tim Brom

LOL! No, we have a large amount of drinks on hand for parties, so I just had to pull it out of the storeroom (about 80 cans) and empty out the refrigerator -- twice. It was a lot of work, so thank you!! Helen

I only hope you didn't actually have to buy all that coke for the shot! LOL
Beautifully done Helen, the lighting and composition are superb.
