Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Still Life III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR DG IF-ED
Location: Colorado Springs
Date: Jul 21, 2007
Aperture: f/18.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/60

Date Uploaded: Jul 22, 2007

Folks: CHECK THE DATE AND TIME ON YOUR CAMERA. ESPECIALLY THE YEAR!!!


I shot close to two hundred of these to get the lighting right and one without a glare, bubble, smudge, etc. I could have done it with a lot fewer shots if it wasn't basic editing.

POST CHALLENGE:

Whoah!! My first blue! I can't believe it did this well. Thanks for all the great comments.

Sorry to hear that, I did the same thing earlier this year on the only 7+ image I have had, I checked the date right after the first of the year and actually set the year wrong when I set it, really sucks but still a well done shot!

That was not me. I did shamelessly use it as something to shoot for, though. He said it is not his original, either. It is not me, if that is what you are thinking.

Oh, I see the differences between the two... different wine glasses and the bottle is slightly different. Excellent reproduction (is that the word you'd use?) of a fine image.

That's what ribbons are made of around here.

i am particularly happy for your ribbon for two reasons. the first is that is a great photograph and i have rated 10 on this. the second is because this was the image that i went build for the contest but I don't had the photographic skill for this. congrats!!!
