[PP] Waiting for a girl like you!

Photographers Comments
PP Alcohol really difficult due to first ever go at off camera flash and the 105mm min focal length. Was over the other side of my dining room to get it into frame.




This image was specifically created for a Personal Project created by our project randomiser. This photo was created using the following randomly chosen criteria:

Theme: Alcohol
Light: Off Camera Flash
Focal Distance: 105mm-200mm
Location: Indoors
Colour Type: Colour

good shot if you have never done this before!!! The rose and cork i would have turned the other way to catch more light. slight loss in the wording of martin but the composition is spot on and reflections work well.

Hi Dennis,
due to the directional side lighting the shadows and loss of light to the left of the image is a slight let down. The tear on the label at the top of the bottle should have been cleaner, I also think that the composition is a little loose and would benefit from being tighter together within the frame with a tighter crop.
Great attempt.

Yeah, Dennis the menace in these PC days has become a softie! First ever attempt at off camera lighting in my whole life. Only got the wireless flash yesterday so didnt know what i was doing really. Crit helps because if i did it again i would do what you both said and pay more attention to detail. I was really stuffed by the focal length taking a shot indoors with a long lens like that was tough (for me). i was 4mts away to get it in the frame at 105mm

Listen to me.......6mths ago didnt know any of this!!

Cheers Guys

Hi Dennis. Cool shot, can see the work you put into it.
Only one thing, perhaps it's because I'm a girl, but I'd like the candles lit!

Health and safety! cant have a fire risk!! lol

Ok for my first ever off camera flash shot so i cant complain, thanks for the feedback, just didnt light them. Trying to get the shot with a long lens indoors as per the challenge.

Can see the effort that went into this shot Dennis. Do you always make this much effort for the ladies lol
Like the idea. These PP's are hard work and get the old grey matter working. Found it difficult to complete my pp entitled feminine but it was great fun.
