Been busy in lighting class. Had a photo shoot to create an advertisement, I chose to do the new Dr. Pepper with Cherry going on the guidelines of "With a Kiss of Cherry" We could only use hot lights and this is a three light setup, one on the background, a key light and a fill light. C&C always appreciated!!
Daffodil
This shot was taken with an old 50mm f1.7 manual lens reverse mounted (taped) onto the Sigma 28-300mm at around 100mm or so. Magnification ratio about 3:1.
1/180s, ISO200, f8 on the zoom lens, I think the 50mm was wide open at f1.7
Straight out of the camera, no editing.

A rather literal interpretation of the theme, but what doesn't work here is the competition going on between the can and the model. She dominates the frame in both size and tonality. The can, while it is the one element in focus, is blending in with the dark background. My eye goes right to her rather garish eye shadow instead of to the can. Perhaps if you had reversed the lighting effects so that she was being enveloped in darkness and the red backlighting surrounded the can...
Might benefit from a lighter background to help the dark can 'pop' more. and maybe a tad less light on the model, and more on the can.
For my eye, I'd also like to see a greater DOF, so as to have both model and can in focus.
A quiet corner of Troutbeck...
The pub is 'The Mortal Man', and on the old pub sign there used to be a poem:
O mortal man that lives by bread,
what is it makes thy nose so red?
Thou silly fool, that look'st so pale,
'Tis drinking Sally Birketts ale....

Sigh... I miss little places like this. Great shot and thanks for the poem that goes with it. It makes you wonder what's the story behind Sally Birkett.
Thanks...18 months sounds about right. Haven't really had space for photography for a while but it's nice to be finding it again.
Here's today's...
