You'll spend the eternity in hell drinking tasteless Bud beer. God loves wine Twisted Evil


Laughing Well, I don't drink beer except on rare occasions. If I've been working outside in the heat, one ice cold beer is simply great, but only one. It is
also good to have with smoked blueback or rainbow from my home area,
haven't had such in a very long time.

@Orio:
I made some searches, on the swedish liquerstore.

Btw the selling of alcohol is regulated in sweden, the state controls it... but their stores are actually quite good and have a good, large selection, the drawback is that its quit expensive and from where I live it's 15km to nearest liquerstore.

Bonarda: all I could find was from Argentina.

Gutturnio: none.

Malvasia: seems common, and is used in the sweet madeira-version (malmsey), which I drank some on a visit to Madeira. But many were from Italy, from different disctricts - Chianti, Frescati, and some I never heard of. Should I look for a special district?

I made a website ones about wine, where people could taste and then set grades/review the wine. Had a hard time get people to use it, and when my daughter was born we didn't drink as much anymore so I let it go.

@A G:
Love the image. Very good items to make stillife of. Sorry for going a bit offtopic Wink

Mattias,
if you are interested, I can get you one bottle each of these and mail them to you. The wine itself is not expensive here. The shipping might be, however, because of weight and the need to buy a special box.

I couldn't. These are 3 shots, a basic one and other two with different expositions that I used to paint with light. Then I usually merge the precedent layers to clone out blemishes, noise reduction etc, then I use high pass sharpening and usually instead then curves I prefer to use Alien Skin Exposure that creates another layer with the contrast and colors of famous films (in this case Velvia 100F).

Aha. Ok, then you are forgiven Wink. Kind of manual HDR then? I've done that a couple of times. Any reason you don't shot HDR and then use different exposure/level adjustment layers to paint the light/dark areas?

(I am curious and want to learn, I am not saying you should) Smile.

Because it's a completely different tecnique pretty similar of the one used in film times when with the shutter open you painted with very narrow directional lights.

Nope, try it by yourself.

Did a 15 minute test of it. And its fun. Will make a proper one later. This one is way to sloppy, but I got an idea of the workflow.



Since we dont do alcohol nor do I have the props you got, a bun, a kids book, a postcard addressed to daughter with a kitten on, a glass of softdrink, an old dusty and dirty lampthingie and a bottle of said softdrink had to do.
Wink

Don't you worry about the props, they're fine and well.

I'm happy you tried to make some experiments and I'm also thinking about using different out of scene candles to create more complex light scheme.
