Wine*

Paris

During this crazy summer, what else to do?? a home made studio to play still life photographer....
Here's a link to look at the mess...

http://www.pbase.com/image/81879299

Canon cobra flash with light box, St E2 on my 5D , an old Rollei pocket flash with a 20years old sensor!!! ( Sensor works with my ST E2 , amazing!!!) Some white sheet to cover windows , and some socks to cover tripod legs (not on pic), and circ pola on my lens!
Could be better, but due to my photograph skills it's not so bad.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM ,Lightbox
1/200s f/5.6 at 60.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

:-) Thanks Phil that's really nice of you, but you really should do what you like to doing even though I will comment on my dislike of these things. I think the shot looks much more classy like this & the exposure is very good on this version. Well done mate:-)

hi Rod,
You're wright!! I uploaded the wrong one, and also in the one I gonna upload it seems there's a little burned zone on cork and table, tiny but burned! I'll change later.

That's strange Phil the highlight on the table just on the right of the bottle measures 255 in Photoshop as does the wrap around the cork on top of the bottle, which means they're pure white & blown. How are you measuring? I used the curves tool.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for visit, concerning the frame, I'm not so crazy to , but sometimes it helps to put a limit to the colors of your pic.
Concerning signature, I will answer this, when I write a letter or a mail I sign, When I make a photograph I do the same, nothing to do with pretention or anything else, just to assume what I've done, good or bad!

Well done Phil even though I don't like frames & signed shots (they look pretentious to me) you have done a nice job here mate.
