Vivitar

It's another rainy, gloomy, day today. As a result, my birdie friends are hiding. So, I thought I'd try my hand at product photography. I used my portrait mode for this photo and editing consisted of Picnik's autofix, clarify, Orton-ish, and Cinemascope effects.
I absolutely love this! The subject, the colors, the composition, the black background.... Coolness, fav! These are yours?

Very cool - love the clear graphic look, the colours and that perfect background

The composition is good? I wasn't sure since the one box is turned slightly. I had planned on taking the other lens out of the box and displaying it as I did with the Automatic Tele Converter (whatever that is), but they were still in their wrapping and the wrapping had price tags on it, and I didn't want to take that much time with set up. I love garage sale finds. Thanks so much!

Thanks!

@mej2011 I think the turned box complements the straight-on box nicely. And it's good to add a bit of 3D feel to shots...

So Vivitar is an actual camera brand? I don't know much beyond Canon and Nikon, and Polaroid. A friend of mine commented on this photo, on my facebook account that she got to hold a vintage Miyama camera. And I have no idea what that is either, but they were pretty excited. lol. Thanks for viewing and commenting!

Oh, really like this Melissa! It looks like the retro ads from magazines back in the 70's! I think you did a fab job at this.

Thanks! I don't really like it, it's kind of boring in my opinion. How's the pup?

@mej2011 stoned out of his mind on pain meds, but no fractures or spinal issues - thank God!

Stoned puppy. That could be an interesting picture. kidding. Glad to hear he is okay.

lol - I actually took a shot of him looking all freaked out for no apparent reason earlier.
November 22nd, 2011  
He's probably seeing tracers.

@pwallis
AWWWWWWWWWWW! Poor pup! Tracers?

Sorry - LSD terminology. Just basically hallucinations.

@pwallis
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. Yeah he probably is. How long is he on the medication for?
November 22nd, 2011  
5-7 days. And lots of rest, which he's a huge fan of.
