Hi from the CC CLub!!!!
Well, I am not sure what the closet of doom is, but I think I may have several of them in this house. Mostly under my kids beds!!!
I like your idea of an overflowing glass. I think what killed your shot here, was the darkness. Because the glass is black you would need a fairly bright light to see what is going on in the shot. Maybe a little more spot metering would have helped with the light. In Post processing, adjusting the exposure may have light it a bit more and then playing with brightness and contrast, but I still think this would have been fairly dark
Now if I tilt my screen, I can see your shot fairly well.
Your high ISO is giving off a lot of grain, you are a little tilted as well and the bottom bit of the glass is cut off and out of focus.
But the focus on the oil pouring in and the top of the glass is sharp. Your shot is very centered, maybe having only half of the glass showing on the right with the oil pouring out of it, would have given you more depth and POV.
I would retake this shot and see what you can do , cos I think with the black glass it could be stunning! |
