I like the original, blue-hued shot also....
But I am intrigued--how does the 20 ounce Diet Mountain Dew figure into the equation? Replenishment of fluid loss from bouncing around trying to get the sheets of paper looking the way I wanted.
I know you're an experienced photographer KmH, so your opinion matters to me. I'm considering buying either a 20 ounce screw-cap bottle of soda from a local vending machine,and wanted to know your opinion: is the 20 oz. Mountain Dew a better choice than the 20 oz. Coke Classic or the 20 oz. Orange Crush orange soda that they have at the bottom? The price is $1.25 from the vending machine, but I have seen some cut-price vending machines selling 12 ounce cans of Shasta-brand cola,root beer, various clear Un-cola type sodas, and orange sodas for 35 cents per can, which is significantly cheaper than the $1.25 for the name-brand, 20 oz. sodas. Buy in bulk from Costco. The bigger the bottle the lower the unit cost.
My questions are: is it worth more for the name brand sodas in the bigger,screw-cap plastic bottles? Yes Or are the smaller, open-only-once 12 oz. cans a better deal? NO Is it worth it to pay for the big name brands, or is Shasta as good as say, Orange Crush, or Coca~Cola? Maybe Which would be better at a wedding or for a portrait session? None of the above What about can versus bottle deposit? The bottle deposit is 10 cents, the can is 5 cents where I live: is this a significant factor, in your experience KmH? Doesn't matter here in Iowa. $0.05 is $0.05 Is it safe to buy from a cut-rate, 3rd party soda pop vending machine, or is it usually better to buy from a well-known, "name brand" vending machine? See the Costco reference above.
And also, what flavor or flavors would you suggest for daytime, hot-weather soda-drinking? Orange-based, Like The DEW. I am tempted to go with the lower-cost, smaller 12 oz cans of Shasta soda, but am worried that people will think my soda is cheap--and so I am tempted to spend the extra to get the 20 oz, bottled, name brand soda. Your thoughts? 20oz Baby!
