 i started shooting for this challenge at 11:xx something the night of the final day. When I had an image I liked, it was about 11:34 and I checked the details on the camera to make sure I was good-to-go. It turned out that I forgot to change the internal clock back for DST. Additionally, my laser pen all but stopped working.
If anything, doing things like this is helping me deal with pressure. I quickly changed the date on the camera - and moved the batteries around in the laser pen. I was pretty surprised when this worked.
Anyway, since I finally got the shot right (again) at 11:43 or so, I neglected to sharpen the image and ended up with a so-so final result but I figured it was still worth entering.
Similar lighting used in these:

This is a good example of painting with light. I particularly like the star bursts. How did you manage that? Is it controllable?

A great idea thats extremely well executed. Gets a 10 from me. You have inspired me to give this technique a try. Thanks

This is really really really cool. I wouldve liked for the heart to be in better condition , but the lighting on the glass itself is also neat, would love to know how you did this 7

how did you do that?

nice, it is a pleasing image, I think it may suffer relative to others because there are some strong images in this competition. It seems to lack a crispness that some of the others have.

Clever title, cool shot. I like the lighting on the shot glass.

The heart is cool - the shot glass doesn't appeal to me. Maybe needs some colored liquid?

Great lighting.

A punny play on words that actually works. The lighting is quite nice and the heart looks casual yet deliberate.
