Challenge: Indulgence (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 80-200 f/2.8L
Location: Montreal
Date: Jun 13, 2006
Aperture: 6.7
ISO: 200
Shutter: 0.3
Galleries: Still Life, Studio
Date Uploaded: Jun 13, 2006

Yes, my boyfriend and I enjoy wine! But these corks have been amassed over several years. The best part of this shoot was drinking the wine afterwards.

I know this isn't truely 'indulgence' and I think the score will reflect that. However, I think that wine can be an indulgence, and thus I think I meer the challenge.

Shot with a tripod and my remote to prevent camera shake since this was a remotely long exposure so I could keep the ISO down to reduce the noise

Since this is basic editing, all that's been done is some RAW adjustments - Shadow/Highlights, WB and exposure compensation.

Photoshop - rotate, crop, levels, touch of color balance and a little bit of saturation

Here's to your health!

Post: AWESOME!! Thanks everyone for all the comments and votes!

As I've said before, alomost everything I've learned about taking pictures is thanks to DPC!

Here's to your health! Cheers!

Sharp--nice, clean simple shot. The white background could be a little whiter, but other than that, it's all good! top 20
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/16/2006 04:25:27 PM
Gorgeous shot, one of the stronger ones in this challenge (which seems to be full of snapshots or snapshot-alikes). This one stands alone aesthetically and also meets the challenge really well too. Nice shot, hope you score in the top 10 at least. Edit to add: this is my second favourite shot this challenge!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/16/2006 03:37:27 PM
Oh only if you could get the glass to stand out more this could have been a 10!, For now, its 8. Bg too blown out.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/16/2006 11:33:19 AM
Ribbon worthy

great composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/15/2006 07:05:32 PM
I can only fault the reflection on the glass. It may have been better if the rouge cork (the yellow thing) was removed
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/15/2006 05:57:34 PM
Nice job. A colored background may have improved this shot.

Great shot. Might have to steal this idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/15/2006 07:55:05 AM
a bit blown out behind the wine glass. thats the only distraction; otherwise, really nice composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/15/2006 07:05:35 AM
excellent focus and DOF. Glass almost disappears at the top but not sure how to fix that. composition well done. background color kind of blah.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/14/2006 11:13:24 PM
Since my husband is a wine buff, i can definitely see the indulgence here. Lighting is well done.
