Photo assignment - August 08 - Beer

hey nice shot Travis!

I think this is well done and no worries on the size. My main comment would be that the bottle could use some breathing room on the top and bottom...but i like the vintage feel and browy old time colours.

There's obviously quite a bit of post processing here - care to share what you did?

Thanks!

thanks Marko... but honestly.... I don't think my PP techiques should be studied in the forum at any great length.... lol.... but for any of those who enjoy watching a car wreck...

-the shot was a six exposure HDR with a white towel as the back drop
-changed background to black
-added noise
-converted to black and white film
-messed around with contrast
-finally step was to use a pspx2 processing effect called Albumen which was a developing method used in the 1890's....

so as you can see.... not much to learn here....

Hmmm beer eh, I drink like 1 or 2 Guinness and 3 or 4 glasses of ice wine with a good cigar in a year, found I never cared for alcohol, I have enough other bad habits, drinking was just not one of those things I really ever done. This will be a challenging one for me, hmmmm...... well I best get my thinking cap on.

PS: Very cool shot, that photo just work well.

Like it, agree it needs a little more room top and bottom, but other than that, good.

well, Im not much of a drinker, so its been rare to find a real beer around to photograph. I snapped this shot at a recent family gathering, where Jones sodas were served...

Well, so far we are all connaisseurs of unique "beers" and Travis likes his in sepia, I like mine in colour and you like yours in black and white. No one so far seems to be into the cliché common Canadian beers.

Is there some "hidden" significant meaning here?
