  Murry, Dolores and Carol – thank you for taking time and writing your comments to me!
I’m glad you like this photo. I spent a little bit of time playing with cardboards and this silver cup, while yesterday it was raining and I couldn’t go anywhere. But working indoors for me is always terrible! ;-) I definitely prefer outdoor shooting, when everything is so natural and I don’t have to compose anything.
Thanks again!
Monika

  You do some really cool stuff, Monika. I just read an article in Petersen's Photographic about how to occupy one's time at home with a camera. You've been busy. Excellent work.

  Thank you for your nice comment, Bernard!
Taking this photo it wasn’t easy for me, but it was fun. I had this whole idea in my head before and finally I made it, but I’m not sure if it was exactly what I wanted. When I make something at home, I’m never completely satisfied.
What is Petersen’s Photographic? I buy many magazines every month but I don’t remember seeing anything like it. Is it a magazine?

  Yes it is a magazine. The April 2003 issue of PHOTOGRAPHIC (the Petersens' part of the name is small and runs the length of the P in Photographic) has this article I mentioned called "Renaissance Lighting in Your Living Room" and its all about setting up to shoot at home when, for some reason, you can't go outside. You should pick up a copy if you can. It's usually pretty interesting and quite informative as well.

Good talkin' with you.

Bernard, thanks for the fast respond to my question! When you wrote the title of the article I realized I already have the magazine! And the funniest thing is I bought it just because of the article ;-). I found there many helpful tips. Usually I buy “Photography Monthly”, “Practical Photography” and “Outdoor Photographer” where there is a lot of nice information. I really like them. I bet you know those titles, too.

It’s good talking to you, too ;-).

  Yes, I get the Petersen's Photographic delivered to me, along with Outdoor Photographer and PC Photo. You may or may not know that PC Photo is a good informational guide for the digital photographer who works both with the camera, of course, and the software. I see you use a G1. I'm now using a G2. PC Photo gives you a lot of great info. for image correction (tip, techniques etc.).
