 I love my Macs... they are my babies, and I always enjoy the fact that I never get any viruses. I have so many friends who are constantly complaining that they are getting computer viruses, but they just don't effect me!

So I thought about the old saying... an apple a day keeps the doctor away... and wondered if maybe that's why apple is the symbol for macs :-D hehehe.

Anyway, this was done with the green image being a screen image on my computer, I turned off all the lights. I put the wine glass upside down in front of the computer, and set the apple in front of it. Then I put the camera on self timer, and used a small flashlight that I have on my keyring to front light the apple. I'm not pleased with the bright light on the apple... but hey it's finals week... I have an excuse!

I'm sure I'll get ripped on the reason we don't get viruses is because not enough people use macs to care about giving us viruses and blah blah blah. Whatever. Enjoy anyway :-) -Talya

Interesting arrangement and lighting. I'm very curious to find out how you got an apple logo where it is, particularly transparent, flat, and upside down relative to the wineglass (a stained glass decoration, selectively desaturated?). A technical perfection bonus is marred by the harsh reflected light on the apple (very difficult to avoid, though).

I personally don't care for the close crop and large border in this shot.
