>>35944992/2 So I did have a somewhat bright flashlight, and a white piece of shelving to use as a reflector, then I took shots of all the different pieces individually (not necessary and pain in the ass in hindsight), and had to use flash for the actual moving liquid, which was probably a mistake but whatever. Most of the tutorials I found were people doing this in photoshop, but I tried my best to translate it into GIMP and instead ended up masking just about everything my hand and then dodge/burning to try to blend everything.
For a first attempt I'm happy enough with it, it's not great but I'm fucking done with editing this picture. I hope "beverage" counts as food.
