OK... So it's my birthday and I'm down at my local Chinese Restaurant with some friends and I started talking about having a challenge to think about for beverages.

Well here in front of me is a glass of Tiger beer... now this is pretty much a snapshot (whilst under the influence of said 'Tiger Beer') but I tried to make it a little more interesting by increasing the shutter to 2 seconds and spining the camera and the beer glass on the central food turntable.

I think that this has made an interesting effect... and the lighting is not too bad, but it would have been much better to have 'staged' the shot with a clean glass and fresh bottle glistening with condensation, but alas...

Hope you enjoy.. not expecting to score high, but a bit of fun for the voters guessing how it may have been achieved.

I like the blur effect in the BG -- did you have the beer and camera both on a turntable?

Cool effect with the motion blur on the backround, works nicely BUT I wounldn´t buy this beer if this was a shot in a commercial. That´s not from a photographic viewpoint since this image is technically well done but the beer looks unflattering and stale, if the glass had been full with beer and with foam at the top and maybe a little moisture on the outside of the glass I would definately buy this product. 6 from me.

nice blur effect. I like it, but the subject leaves me a little "flat". Looks too much like urine...sorry. 6
