Challenge: Illusions (Classic Editing)
Camera: Canon PowerShot G2
Location: Home
Date: Oct 24, 2002
Aperture: F8
ISO: 50
Shutter: 8 seconds
Galleries: Abstract

 Slow exposure, taken with
flash.

The set up:
1. A blackboard
2. a bottle place on the black board
3. a tripod is set up to take a photo DIRECTLY above the bottle and place it on th elft hand corner.

And here's the steps to getting it done:

First, the tripod is moved to take the photo of the bottle sideways (the Label) WITH flash, then it is promptly moved up and left it there for the remainder of the 8 second exposure on teh bottle on the top down view. The flash allows a very quick exposure of the side bottle to show up with the slow exposure on the upper left hand corner. Thus, the illusion is that the photo has two bottles even though it's the same one.

How did i figure it out? I was drunk when I took the photo :) seriously, i was heavily intoxicated with beer....

It's a nice photo and I do like the transparent-ness of the beer bottle, but I am less than fully "getting" the illusion. Still, it's very nice and deserves a 7 at least.
7 for now. Swash

Felt like this many times...... Good visual translation

It takes a second, but the round thing in the upper left finally started looking like the top of the bottle. At first I thought it was the bottom. Interesting composition and colors. karmat

I don't know what I'm looking at -- perhaps it's me that's drunk? Clever idea.

I can feel it!
Think you could get rid of some of the empty space on the bottom and right.

Good photo. Meets challenge. I like the color and composition.

I'm not sure the title really fits with this picture, however I like the burn-out look of it all.

HEY! I like the illusion, but the color seems a little dull and muddy.
