DSS133 Can I entice you?

tinamarie52 · July 12, 2013

Hi, although it doesn't look like many post their possible entries here for critique any more, I'd like to ask for feedback on an idea that I've had a chance to work on this week. Do any of these entice you?

I've noticed that too...not many are pre-posting or commenting in the galleries. I think #2 is my favorite. Wonder what these would look like with the glass of wine with it??

My thoughts exactly. i wanted to get my idea honed before I open the bottle and pour it into a glass. Hopefully, the skies will clear during the golden hour today so that I can open the bottle and shoot again!

Thanks for commenting. It always helps!

Not many entries these days let alone comments and critiques, it is getting a bit depressing to be honest, the challenges are in danger of dying on their feet at this rate. I've never been one for posting possible entries for feedback because most of the feedback given is often so contradictory, but a few more comments on entries would be welcome

I also really like the second one...I like the tall grasses interacting with the bottle. I don't think you need a glass, but let's see what that looks like.
PS You took my idea!!

Kate,
Thanks for the comments.

If you have the same idea, I'm ok with sharing. I'm in this for the feedback and for the opportunity to be pushed by the challenge and the people here. So, I say go for it.

Believe it or not, I had EXACTLY the same idea, since we're now in the Maritimes (Canada), and I had an old photo like these ones, with a bottle of beer on the beach - I thought I'd take it again, but it's too late

I like them all, and most I like #2 - this is how I would have taken mine.

Hi

Since the subject was submitted I have done some readings but I am not yet inspired. This challenges are so great to learn. I hope we will get some momentum back.

Rgarding your pictures, I also prefer #2. You can really feel you are on the beach.
Just a few ideas:
I would suggest to get more than just the beach. Maybe with a blue starfish on the sand. However I read that for product photography you have to avoid too much things around. So then you would have to limit the grass.
My other idea would be to have the bottle against a wooden pillar of a beach house with nice lighting to really get the color of the wine/bottle standing out against the wood and the beach in the background blurry to avoid distraction. But I don't know if you have access to a beach house.
If you stay with the grass, may I suggest you try capturing it without the sky to see what you get. And maybe try avoiding the shadows of the grass on the label.

Happy shooting!

Claire

Claire,

My time at the beach house ends tomorrow morning. We've had pouring rain and horrid winds since I took these exploratory shots. I was hoping to spend more time on this, but it looks like the weather wil have thwarted me!

If it is sunny in the early morning, I may take another shot or two!.

Thanks for your comments.
