The unwind

The perfect ending to a long day! A glass of Shiraz and some of my favorite photog mags!
This is the first of my SOOC shots! Pretty shitty I know! Tomorrow I'll have some time to put in to it! I guess its time to break out the manual to my camera! One thing for sure, I'm going to learn a lot more about exposure, ISO, white balance...all that stuff a photographer should know before the edits!

[Angelina Lovington]

Wow!!! Very elegant conceptual art!

[jerry plume]

Does rotating count?

[Vicki K]

looks pretty good to me:)

[Wendy]

Great SOOC Jerry! Looks like a perfect end to the day and with photo magazines taboot!

[Cade VanHeel]

hey you turned it! thats cheating! hahaha Love the reflection off the wine class!

[jerry plume]

@cvanheel Lol! I was wondering about that! It was straight in my camera! :D

[lorihiro]

Love the reflections in the glass! I need to get me some of those magazines so I can stop relying on the Happy Accidents! Not that I have time to read them! UGH! Oh well, this week will be happy naked accidents! :-)

[jerry plume]

@f365 You are so sweet, Angelina! Thank you!
@veekay Thanks, Vicki!
@exposure4u Thank you, Wendy! :D

[Angie Lintner]

Looks good to me! And I'm up for the challenge. :)

[jerry plume]

@alintner Awesome, Angie! Can't wait to see your pics!

[Cade VanHeel]

@orangecrush well I say if your camera allows you to rotate it before you upload it then your are in the clear for your challenge

[Rebecca Briggs]

[Shanne]

[Melanie Savage]

Like the magazine reflections in your wine glass, sounds like a good wind down:)

[Sue Wilde]

Looks like a perfect end to the day to me.

[Nic Taylor]

[Michaela (Cala) boniface]

[Michelle]

Very nice! Hardly shitty! Stop fishing for compliments. lol! ;-)

[Tammie]

You call it shitty - yet you managed to catch a great reflection of the magazines in the wine. I really like it. Don't be so hard on yourself!!

[Harry J Benson]

[trude]

[Paula]

Excellent start Jerry, and I do believe I'll join you in this:)

[Susan Riley]

I dont like red wine but wine is always a good way to end a day! Lovely shot

[Susan T]

Wonderful shot! Nice reflections. You are such an amazing photographer; I'm glad to know I'm not the only one having to learn more about exposure, ISO and white balance! There is hope for me! :o)

[Heather 43]

This would be my Friday night! A large glass of well earned red and something good to read. A perfectly captured downtime shot.

[Howard Steele]

Nice one enjoy

[Seth Tan]

Totally agree - great end of day combination

[Kerri]

Great composition

[Lori Rompolski]

perfect end of the day...great shot, love the reflections in the glass

[Ms Artsy (Kelly)]

what could be better than wine and photo mags?? nothing, nice SOOC gerry

[Mimi Ditchie]

Perfect still-life capture and black and white treatment.....I would love to join you for a glass of Shiraz......

[Steven]

With the eos 7d I've learned is the perfect camera for using manual controls. They made it so easy to adjust. Good luck with SOOC!

[pixels4u]

I guess are few of us do this and I certainly do. A glass of wine and some vital learning with the free DVD all about Photoshop. Who needs anything else!

[Sara]

oh can I have some, I could really use some :)

[Cheyenne Rebecca ツ]

Nice SOOC! I still haven't decided if I'm joining your challenge, I'm scared!!!! :-O

[Mary]

Just share your wine and we won't care about the photo!

[Michelle]

Please sir can i have some more lol.. I could so do with a fine glass of red right now lol great shot

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Great way to end the day :)
Nice shot, love the mag reflections in the glass :)

[peter/zipp]

[Pauline Binek]

perfection in my eyes - mine's a large shiraz..

[stephanie dp]

[Matthew Shepherdson]

Think you're quite harsh on yourself... there's plenty to be happy with in this shot. Well done.

[quin]

Thank you so much, guys! I didn't have much time to take pics yesterday so thank you for the great comments on this shot! I'm off with my naked camera to see what I can do today! See you later tonight! :D

[Kd Wallis]

i dont think this photo sucks! it is really great in black and white and i like the reflections of the magazines in the glass/wine. Sounds like a relaxing time!

[Sara Louise Brown]

I really like this and I'm slightly jealous as I can't generally manage such nice shots (especially in B&W) even with looooads of pp!

[Brad Johnson]

Documenting the day. :)

[Nancy Meller]

I like this photo because you can see the reflections of the magazines in
the glass. And the fact that its wine.

[Kass]

Great reflection in the glass. This reminds me I need to search for some photo mags to subscribe to - any favourites?

[Kate D.]

mmm I love shiraz

[Rach_who]

Looks like a lovely way to wrap up the day.

[Denny Shunk]

Gotta love alcohol, to relax at the end of a hard day. :-)

Perfect shot... :D

[Terri]

Love this. I am unwinding right now.

[Zoe Ferrie]

It's a great start for SOOC ....

[Kate Klinck]

Looks great to me!!

Shiraz and something good to read - perfect!

[Sabrina]

Like it, especially the reflections of the magazines. And no editing needed!
