Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Stopped Motion V (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D70s
Lens: Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D
Location: Falls Church, VA, USA
Date: Mar 23, 2010
Aperture: f/8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/500s
Galleries: Still Life, Studio
Date Uploaded: Mar 23, 2010

Setup:

Setup is very similar to what I did for my earlier water splash shots. Used duck tape to tie the three glasses to my son's toy (a bus). Placed my SB800 behind the white acrylic sheet and fired remotely using my Nikon D70s. Triggered remote with right hand and pushed the glasses with my left hand. It took a few trial and error shots. Placed this whole setup in my bathtub to take care of the mess.

Processing:
1. Adjusted raw file for shadow and highlight balance
2. Adjusted levels and curves
3. Enhanced saturation to boost colors
4. Sharpened, resized and smart-sharpened

From Critique Club :-).

I like your photo very much.

Is fantastic how the talent can do wonders, like this one.

I have two comments:

1 - I think you can try to take the photo a little more far from the subject. I believe you could include all the blue inside the image and get a better photo.

2 - The background is too much white. This difficult to see the borders of the glasses.

Congrats and hope you enjoy my ideas.

At first I thought you were fooling us. Now that I've seen your notes I have to appologize for even daring to think this.
Congrats on your top 20 :)

Don't hate me - I love this photo, but I would have loved it more if the red didn't find a way into the green, or the red and blue mixing towards the top. Granted - I'm not sure how you'd prevent that - but I found the mixing distracting from the stark differences of the colors you were trying to convey. No worries - 9

These colour shots are allways striking. Well balanced, with the increase of the spilled liquid to the right

I'm guessing this photo has been rotated 90º? Very good.
