[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today was the second session of my first-ever photography course. It is about studio lighting. It's all new to me and I realize that I have a lot of catching up to do, also on some basics about photography... Anyway, it was fun to experiment and here is one of the results. Let me know what you think!

Thank you for visiting and have a good weekend! :)))

Congr,

Ohhh, what lovely shot, exposure well managed. I like the concept, Cordelia :)
You should have cleaned the glasses before the shot :)
TFS,

Hello Cordelia :o)

Have a nice week-end

Hi Cordelia,

This is an effective study of light, contrast and colour. I think it works very well.

Enjoy your course!

Really like the arrangements of the glasses it gives a strong/bold composition, especially with the use of the coloured water. I also think you have done very well with the lighting of the shot. However two things stick out (for me). Firstly where the boarder between the black and white background meet the table there is a bit of black sticking out at an angle, which breaks the line of the black/white boarder (once noticed it's all I can see). Secondly (for me) I would also like to see this same shot with a pure white background.

Good perspective!
Excellent done!

Colourful and sharp image Cordelia, impressive composition and lighting. Great idea to fill them up with different coloured liquids.. I would have cloned out the little black triangle bit that disturbs the straightness of the black background between the handles of the blue and the green glasses. Beautiful work, thanks

Bonjour Cordelia,
Expérience réussie! J'aime ton montage avec ces couleurs sur fond noir et blanc. L'éclairage est juste et crée de beaux reflets mettant en évidence la transparence du verre. Je t'envie un peu de pouvoir prendre de la formation en studio! Bravo! Annie

Superbe beau montage et de travail. Très artistique et professionel. le scouleurs sont magoqies.. toute une belle image .. Bravo... Réal.

Absolutely fascinating! You need lessons in lighting? Sounds like carrying coal to newcastle.
First rate.

Hi Cordelia
This is a colourful, well thought out and well captured composition. Congratulations! The lighting looks great on and I like the combination of colours and monochrome. Your lessons are paying off already. Keep it up. TFS on TL.

A "classic" shot, but perfectly excecuted. Great sharpness, light, subject, metering, colours. I really ought to do a photography course myself - I'm sure I'd learn a lot from it! Hehe.

Hello Cordelia, this works very well. You've maximised the minimalist elements here. Good idea to colour the liquids and I like the white and black contrast. The arrangement and composition works very well. Good shot.

Beautifully done Cordelia ,great colours and composition.Exposure must have been spot on,as is clarity (finger prints and all)...
A photography course would be good.

Hi there!
Great idea with the colourful glasses again. The composition is great, especially with the black-white/light-shadow seperation. The colours are excellent, makes me want to drink cocktails!
Well done!
PS - thanks for the review of my pic.

Allo Cordelia,
Quelle chance nous avons de pouvoir apprendre continuellement....Ceci nous permet de..vivre pleinement...
Très belle réalisation...
Un vrai bonbon pour l'oeil...
Bravo
Claude

u made something beautiful
very colourful and good composed shot
really a good job

Bonjour Cordelia
Vraiment superbe cette image. Ce qui me frappe le plus c'est le noir
dans chacun des coupes qui ce continue dans la tige jusqu'au pieds.
Il y a tellement d'éléments dans cette photo que je pourrais écrire pour
encore une heure. Par exemple, les bases des coupes en diagonales
en partant du bord de l'image pour ensuite nous offrir un peu plus de
réflection à chacun des verres. La couleur du verre lui-même est
franchement extraordinaire.

Paul

Pryvitanne Cardelia!
wonderful composition! good colours!good job!=)
ALiaksandr

Good lighting and composition creating an eye catching picture. Details are sharp, which has picked up the fingerprints on the glass unfortunately, and I think the choice of black and white background really works well.
Thanks for sharing
Mark

J'aime beaucoup.
Ce style moderne,
me plaît beaucoup.
Ecxellent jeu d'ombres
et lumières et de couleurs.

Bravo!
France

Hello Cordelia,

This picture is a very graphic one ! I like the colours, the reflexion in the glasses and the b&W background. For me this picture is the best of your serie : I like the "studio work" too with the spay coming from the lower part of the picture but in this photo the glasses seem a bit blured.
That's why I prefer this one :)
Anyway, congratulation for these studio works !

Jean-Marc

More than Beautiful. Ezxcellent capture of the colours.

hello cordelia

i like the way you manage your composition here...very lovely...

:-)
