Challenge: Symmetry (Classic Editing)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix 995
Location: Somers, Montana
Date: Mar 30, 2003
Aperture: f3.1
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/1.5
Galleries: Still Life, Studio

 Tried to line up the three snifters in a row on a piece of seamless curved posterboard in front of my window in an otherwise dark room. The only light coming in was from the window above and on the sides of the posterboard. Made some levels adjustments to really bring out the contrast and emphasize the blue. Other than that, no cropping or other adjustments.

Good idea. Might have worked better without the blue, though.

Nicely done. I have been trying to perfect this set up for sometime, but I have yet to succeed. You have executed this shot very nicely. I love the diffused look of the black and blue. Personally I would have liked to have seen a little bit more light on the upper part of the image to show the glasses though each other. Well done!

Very striking shot! Dark blue lighting really creates a fantastic effect overall. Very nicely done! --10

Very nice, I like this shot. It may need a little more light but it's great. I like the way the blue "flows" nicely into the black, and the blue outlines of the cups on the black.

Very nice lineup/composition, and the lighting is spot on too. Just to nitpick a little, adding ca. 1/3 to the top of the image with the black background could be interesting, as it looks a bit cramped.
