My first sweaty wet subject

[MattxMosh]

So I built that nifty little box that everyone always links to on Strobist.

I've never used such a thing. Wanting instant results, I just grabbed a desk lamp and a beer.

1)

1.5)

2)

3)

Oops. I've had a few.

Thoughts?

I'm not a fan of the B&W one (doesn't look like beer anymore), but I like the others.
1.5 seems to have a lot of noise...

I like 2 the most. The only nitpik with it is that I would have gotten a better looking lime slice (no seeds). Otherwise, it looks perfect to me.
It also reminds me that my glass is empty...


Thanks for sharing the blooper shot too.

It shows nicely how well this $3 lightbox can work.

Yeah, I was messing around with Color Efex, it was supposed to look like Gold 400 with grain. Guess it does look noisy. As for the B&W one, in color the glass was invisible. I'm not a big fan either, as i don't even really like conversions, but its nice to try different things. Especially when drinking.

I didn't really plan on taking pictures, so the seed was there. I wanted to take it out and do a few more, but as you can see by the lack of head it was sitting way to long I was getting antsy!

And thanks!

The only thing I didn't have was the poster board, and it cost a whopping $.55!

I can't wait to mess with it some more.

I love cheap stuff. :lmao:

That piece of poster board has a nice drink ring on it, so I may as well take a picture of what I'm drinking now. Stoli O & left over flat Sprite. Great summer drink.

Looks like I just left the camera where it was...because I did. ha.
