We took a cruise with the old cars to the Moody Winery, in Madera, Ca. I re-arranged the glasses that were on the bar into a straight line and also got a reflection in the marble counter top. I used the D-700 Nikon camera and the Nikkor 24-120mm lens.

  Hi John: I was pretty lucky to get what I got. These glasses are sitting on a granite counter which has a spotted appearance. I did turn them toward an opened door hoping for as much light as I could get. As always, I really appreciate your perspective. Thanks again, for all your involvement in the club. Merna

  Merna, you are welcome. Take my suggestions as just that, Sometimes I just wonder if something would lokke better if done a certainway. It does not mean there is anything wrong with the shot.

  Hi John: Don’t you ever hesitate to tell me what you think of my images. I value each and everyone
that writes to me with their suggestions. That is one of the many reasons that Carla and I wanted to have this club. The more ideas that are shared between us, we will all benefit from them. I am just thrilled that we are able to do this kind of work. We can look back a year from now and see how much we all have improved by what we see and say.
I wish you the very best and I hope that all your photographs are the ones that you have always dreamed of taking and sharing. Your photo buddy, Merna

  Hi Emile: I was excited about this photo, it was the first time I took it upon myself to arrange it.
There is something about "Elements of Design" that catches my eye. Thank you very much for taking the time to comment on this image. Sincerely, Merna

  Merna, That is why I joined: to enjoy the friendships started, to get feedback on my photos and to examint others work. I find that by critiquing others work, if done honestly and kindly,my photography gets better. Much of my growth over the last year or so has been from MasterPiece Membership here on BP. so glad I found BP. Happy shooing BTW I just posted 2 more skinky shots in the response to my original. Check them out when you can.

  Hi John: I had already noticed. I think that it is a great idea to put the before and after photos up so that you can really see the difference. If you have the time, maybe you could tell the members how to do this and we can get a better idea of what has been done and how it has been accomplished. Thanks for all you do! Merna

  Merna, Unfortunately, I did not save the image as a PSD with all the layers so I do not remember exactly what I did. I need to be better at either writing down what I did or saving the layers/PSD so I can adjust or recall what I did. I know the basic set up as I described then I believe I played with the image in polar co-ordinates and blur motion till I got what I liked. May have done something else too. LOL Sorry.......
