The red stuff is my blood, might need a medic ¬_¬ (not...heh)

Looking at fashion mags at work sometimes I always see page spreads like this sort but obviously with text and whatnot in the blank areas. Harder than it seems, getting the glass to look right in one shot, found I had to underexpose heavily then bring out the details slowly in PS after and dodge tool the grey BG to white.

Also dust on the objects is a pain in the butt when doing macros :s

Exif says f1.0, twas actually 2.8.

good to see you getting some shots in again

Haven't had time to get the camera out of the bag in a fortnight

AndyBorzi · 23 Mar 2006 at 12:29

I think it is great. I have never tried glass, but I think I will give it a go now I have seen this.

Also, thought your website is excellent. Did you design it yourself or is it using a back-end of some sort?

mrk · 23 Mar 2006 at 12:33

Thanks guys, I did design the site from scratch, I'm quite used to building things from scratch with just a rough idea in my head so decided to do that instead of use a template or backend. CSS nuts will shoot me for using an iframe but it's fast for me to work with and it works on all browers so I just stuck with it

Your iframe can be forgiven because they do have their uses

Nice shot, do like the way the red is set against simple colours.

Yeah you see a lot of these in magazines for fashion. you have done well. The dust on items that a photograph picks up are just terrible!

I would advise you to get the Infra Red filter too mate.
