PS - Scotch version (the drink looks a bit pale, probably because of the strong side-lighting. Glenmorangie isn't very dark to start with, though - Lagavulin might be a better subject.) This image is also probably more suited to the 'Reflections' assignment than chrome!
Another good one, even though a bit o a dark side, but hey, fine by me
Guys,
While I hope we continue to have fun with this assignment, I'd like to remind you that the subject is CHROME.
Steel and other shiny metal objects are fine provided you get some CHROME too.

Well, stainless steel, or any other shiny polished metallic surface would qualify, too.
It even had that little pointing-smiley-guy you like so much. You need to make up your mind, Rules Lawyer.
And since I'm on the subject, technically all that stuff around the outside of your browser (menu, address bar, back/forward buttons, etc) is called chrome. So maybe I'll just take a picture of that!
(just giving you a hard time Nikolai, I'll see if I can find some real chrome... )
If may quote the assignment back to you...

It's only the fine-print For those poor chrome-deficient souls to be able to play. If I order a steak with some veggies, I want to get steak with the veggies, not the steak salad
Nothing on you personally.. But it just seems to have it's place in a story line of some sorts. My initial impression was an immediate, WOW...
It seems to say something more than words.. I can't explain it...
Anyway..I took these a week ago, or so.. If you want to count them.. Of not, I can get some new stuff no problem.. .. But I'd have to wash the car first..
Oh, the alignment of the second pic was PURLEY coincidental! But My OCD side likes it a LOT! ...
My Car... 2000 Camaro Z28, My baby... Yes, the wheels are chrome.

Great chrome! I like the low angle on #2, too!
And yes, please reshoot so it's fresh:-) Besides, it's only fair to keep such a nice car clean
Here we go.. New chrome shots for ya.. All I really had to work with..
Nice wheels!
However, unless I'm gravely mistaken, you've fallen into the basic chrome trap I warned everybody about in the lead post: don't get your own reflection.
In your case both shots carry a lot of you, hands in #1 and jeans in #2. The trick to avoid it is to position yourself in a way where the curvature would hide you in a couple of pixels.
You're the skinny guy right at the chrome edge, with something like a monopod :-)
Yes. It's me and it is one leg of the tripod.
I use the tripod to rest my arms and to stand the camera while I shoot with the other.
I run the risk of not seeing the tripod and camera to "run away" , so I always have one eye on it.
It is not a very secure way to shoot. :cry
I don't recomend it, at all.
This picture was shot with the 70-200. Usually I take the camera and lens combo (can I use this word here ?) from the tripod, shoot and put it back.
I usually walk with the tripod on the shoulder, like in the army men do with a gun.

Thanks, I'm glad you like the photo. I thought for quite a while about the title, I was a bit concerned that people might take offence.

Great wheels!

Yeah.. First one is definitely sub-par. The rest is nice though, I only wish they were zoomed/cropped in more...

Thank you!
Antonio,
thank you, but let's take a look at the actual assignment again:
Nikolai.
That is not me. Honestly !
I was wearing light brown trousers.
But as you do have mentioned, I am in the picture indeed.
I am the one on our right side, very thin !
I saw myself for the first time in this photo.
You were right after all... :cry
You're the skinny guy right at the chrome edge, with something like a monopod :-)
Yes. It's me and it is one leg of the tripod.
