Thanks guys!
Thanks man I'm always open to feedback so I really appreciate it!
For #1 I set up a small black table out back with a black sheet hung on the fence in the background, two bare flashes one camera right and the other left and behind the table. I had a friend drop/throw the bottle at the table and then clicked the shutter after it bounced, the camera was on a tripod about 10 feet away from the table. I used a fast shutter speed and small aperture to kill the sun, freeze the bottle, and make sure everything was in focus.
And I would have loved to get a tighter crop on #3 but my lens was maxed out lol.
Thank you, and I use a Nikon D40 w/ an 18-105 VR most of the time but sometimes I bring out my "nifty fifty", a 50mm 1.8 AIS.
Here's a few more pics:
