Thank you. I've always wanted a visual to go with that old legend.

Good shot! and technicals.

Cute. I bet this took a few takes. Looks like you were using your "top shelf" system, too (not). The colors are compelling.

Fun image! A little blurry and/or lacking in sharpness, tho. (e.g. upper left, and the word "creative") (5)

Great idea. Kind of a gamble with your machine though--no?

:) This picture makes me shudder with fear for that poor computer...

hehehe

Oh well... I still remember this joke :)
The photo is grainy, and the subject is not stand out. Shooting indoor needs a dramatic lighting to make it standout. Some tungsten lights might help, rather than those fluorescent white light.

LOL, I love this picture! Definitely one of my fav's! Great idea, perfect capture.
09/12/2007 09:21:21 PM
Ahahaha! No, many cup holders are set to shut themselves after a certain length of time ;) I prefer the Desktop Cupholder version 2, they apply straight to the computer desk, and never close :)

Ooops. Hope you didn't make too much of a mess. Where does the pizza go? I would be interested in seeing if a slower shutter speed would make the falling of the cup a little more dynamic.

I dont even want to think about how you pulled this shot off (or worse the possible consequences), but it had the effect of making me both laugh and gasp when I opened it
09/12/2007 03:46:53 PM
I really, really hope you didn't damage your computer getting this... Great idea, though a darker background would have improved it, I think.

Funny
