Drinks to Warm You Up!
This winter has been a bit tough, we have had tons of snow and the general mood is low. So decided to use Bitter's first project to try to warm you up and to invite you to spend a fantastic time by the chimney along with your lover and have some drinks. Our intent was to transmit a reserved and romantic mood in the photo.
Settings
This is the row data: D5000, ISO 160, f/5.6, 1/1.5, 55-200 lens (62 mm) and tripod.
We set up our coffee table in front of the chimney and used only 2 small lamps, 50W white light, that we bought in home depot. One lamp was located on the floor, between the chimney and the coffee table, pointing to the top part of the cups. The idea was to clear up the liquid in the drink without having any reflections in the glass. The second lamp was pointing to the ceiling. No other light was on.
This version has fixed the tilt issue:
Some people have wondered what would be the photo if the camera was a bit lower. Even Bitter suggested me to do it, however I think the background is distracting and the drinks are not longer the protagonist. This is the other shot:
Look at the photo and let us know if you would like to be having those drinks by the chimney. Also give us your technical comments which will be really welcome.
In the future, we would like to try some other colors in the drink to see how they look like. Bitter, thanks for your help, we have really enjoyed this first project and we are looking forward to the next.
iBats, this was the layout used for lighting; It was only two lamps and no other light was on. I hope is clear now.
