Challenge: Multiple Light Sources (Basic Editing I)

Location: Leeston, New Zealand (My Lounge)

Aperture: F/4

After scratching my head for a while, I came up with this, which is a bit of a twist on the old fruit bowl and jug paintings.

This uses 101 light sources... 100 Xmas lights, and one lonely white LED inside the jug to add the top rim into the picture.

Simple setup with tripod in front of a dark velvet curtain. Image cropped, sharpened slightly, and then framed using Gimp.

i love the way those lights relflect out of the bowl. the vase and doily kind of ruin it for me though.. i get where you were going with it, but i think it sort of cheapens the picture a bit.

Love all the color, very neat shot and nice reflection on the table cloth. Very original.

I think you missed a better image here. Lose the bowl and the vase and just let all the colors wash over the the doily.

Those little lights make a great color reflection on the pastie. I am not sure if the jar really helps in this photo. Very nice though.

Awesome shot. I've tried something similar and it didn't come out anywhere near as good. Nice work. I expect this to ribbon and hope the others agree. Tom

Nice--I like the use of a candy dish to showcase the multple lgihts/colors. The reflection on the doily works well, as does the "matching" colorful vase. Nice still life--8
