The beer needs a head. Perspective from the ground up is semi-effective.

Nice condensation going on, interesting angle -- though I would've chosen a more downward approach to show the top of the can that we all know so well.

great photo. fave of beer ad's. appears to float and be larger than life. :)
05/12/2002 06:09:00 PM
Boy, that's inviting. Loks like an ad to me.

The glare and reflection on the front of the glass detract from it a bit. I might have preferred if the glass was somehow lit from behind to show the contents sort of "glowing". I don't exactly know how this would have been done to preserve the stark black background, but I'm sure it is possible. Maybe a concentrated light source shining right down into the glass from above, as to not disrupt the rest of the picture. I must also say that it seems slightly uninteresting in my opinion, but I still like it.

I think you did a great job with this shot.
05/11/2002 07:03:00 AM
I like your lighting. This shot makes me want to try this and see if you can make the two items lean in the same direction.
05/10/2002 02:48:00 PM
Nice shot, shame that the sides of the can have converged
05/10/2002 08:39:00 AM
Nicely done. Very clean and sharp, with no distracting elements aside from those reflections. The upward angle has caused some perspective distortion - the can and glass lean towards eachother. Not a big deal, but it does feel a little odd looking up through the glass. That's a wicked hotspot at the bottom.
05/09/2002 09:23:00 PM
Nicely done. Both look a little tipsy!
05/09/2002 03:17:00 PM
Nice height to the picture, my eye is really drawn upwards -- which led me to the top of your backdrop. Oops. Watch that crop.
05/09/2002 01:53:00 PM
The top RHC looks a bit iffy maybe you could have cropped this out?
05/09/2002 12:08:00 PM
should have removed the condensation off of the can and maybe not used as strong of a flash oas you did, it looks pretty washed out
05/09/2002 07:47:00 AM
Nice inviting setup of the photo with the droplets on the can and glass. I would have prefered a lighting technique that avoided the blown highlights and reflections. The horizontal line just above the base of the subjects is also distracting? You might want to consider a longer angle lens for a similar shot to avoid the converging perspective, unless this was your intended effect? Good effort.
05/08/2002 03:15:00 PM
Excellent perspective but I would have placed it on a light colored surface, not neccessarily reflective, just something brighter so it doesn't look like it is floating. Kind of miner though, I really like it.
05/08/2002 08:02:00 AM
pour me one.
05/07/2002 11:17:00 PM
Having just visited Colorado over sprint break, I became quite familiar with the silver rockies. Did you try this shot with a background? I just wonder if it would be distracting or helpful.
05/07/2002 08:20:00 PM
I think the emphasis should be more on the beer can... Right now, the perspective makes the glass a lot more outstanding.
05/07/2002 05:12:00 PM
Nice angle. Maybe a little too much reflection from the flash. I haven't tried it myself, but have been told that you can deflect the flash with an index card to minimize the reflection.
05/07/2002 06:12:00 AM
Bleh, American beer :P

Nice photo, but the lighting needs more control for this kind of thing, considering there are bright highlights on the front of the glass and the can. Advertising shots avoid that kind of distraction. The camera angle also makes the composition a little bit awkward, because the perspective makes the verticle lines slant a bit.
05/07/2002 02:02:00 AM
very refreshing!
05/06/2002 10:53:00 PM
Wow, nicely done, like the lighting and the water droplets on the glass and can
05/06/2002 07:52:00 PM
Can looks good, glass and beer are unappetizing.
05/06/2002 05:03:00 PM
nice but the glass, being so much taller than the can makes the two appear to be froma differnt perspective
05/06/2002 02:33:00 PM
You have the right idea on this shot however barrel distortion makes the glass and can look like they're leaning in. I like the water on the glass and the black background works pretty well too. I wont judge you on the bla beer though :)
05/06/2002 02:32:00 PM
Dude!! This is a pilsner glass!! Just kidding :) i think that ALL beer ads should show a nice rich head on the beer. On the top right side of this shot, there is a little background 'noise' that possibly could have been cropped out for a higher impact shot. The lighting here may be a tad strong but the overall quality of this photograph is very nice! Good work!
05/06/2002 02:10:00 PM
very nice perspective
05/06/2002 12:40:00 PM
Rocky mountian high....
nice light, good perspective.
Small nit the glare at the bottom of the glass.
05/06/2002 12:04:00 PM
This works better than most boozer adverts, but I still want to "see the good times". More action in the beer might have been nice, too. Photo 10 Advert 9 Creativity 8

Ug, horrible beer. Don't worry I won't hold it against you. :) I don't like the really low angle you have here though. The lighting may have just been a little too hard. There is a spot on the glass at the base where its really bright and its distracting.
05/06/2002 08:18:00 AM
Good lighting and angle.
05/06/2002 05:45:00 AM
Excellent
05/06/2002 05:31:00 AM
Now that looks cold ! The only flaw I see is the background in the top right. I would have cut that off. Nice work.
