I like symetry.  And Metal.  So i found this. 

Work Lights FTW for contrast.  Had to eliminate a little bit of noise with Noise Ninja… 

Out of the Bottle

In a continued interest in stock photography, here is an attempt.  Fairly simple idea, fairly simple execution.

Bottle = Lindemans Framboise…. if you haven’t had an opportunity to taste this utterly delicious beverage, do it.  Raspberry Beer.  Yes, you heard me right.

The same setup as “Self Portrait” was used, with one minor addition.  An actual backdrop.  White Sheet FTW.   The uneven backdrop lighting was on purpose, to attempt to get some depth out of the photo (afterthought: the foil has more than enough depth on its own)…

I realize this may not be a stereotypical stock photo, but its part of mastering the backdrop/lighting aspect before i bring in your normal subjects.  And, its more interesting than a keyboard and hands.  Yes, i said it.

As a side note, anyone else feel like we’re entering a new chapter of american history?

Photrade.com…

So… I’ve recently (tonight) joined a photo sharing/istock like sight named Photrade.  Its in beta, closed(ish) beta…

Photrade is definitely heading in the right direction… set your own prices (it seems you get everything above their (padded) cost)… for ordered prints, shirts, car stereos, flags… okay, i went a bit far.  but shirts, prints, traditional digital rights (5 different licenses)…

Also, Photrade seems to take on some of the trains of flickr as well… i haven’t gotten to play with Photradevery thoroughly… I do get distracted quite easily don’tcha know.  But i’ll be sure to throw in an occasional mention, if not here then on Twitter (eeeeeee)
