Decanter study ~ 1 by seanoneill

Decanter study ~ 1

Today's word is Aquarius or Pisces.

I have chosen the words for the 19th February to match the shot I had planned for today. They are Light and Dark.

To get this shot I have put the decanter on the edge of our dining table with my flash on a gorillapod under the table fired up a the white card behind it. I saw the technique on Wexphotographic's blog last week

For alternative processing look in my other album.
This is lovely Sean. The tones and clarity are wonderful!

I think I like the single decanter best, although I enjoy the collage very much. This has a clean look that I really like.

Nicely done, Sean! (you could've high keyed this shot :P)

@ozziehoffy Yes, I nearly did, but was looking for a different affect using the flash. I have been playing withit in PS to get a high key, may post shortly.
