My parents were visiting me for the weekend and I took my new camera everywhere we went. I took this while waiting for lunch. I thought the reflection of the overhead lights off of the shakers and onto the table was very cool. (IMG_235)

I like this. Very simple but there is still enough to look at with the pattern on the table and such. One thing i might point out that isn't perfect is the top of the salt shaker is slightly overexposed. Other then that awesome shot.

"A piece of toast with butter always lands butter side down, and a cat always lands on its feet. What happens if a piece of toast is tied butter side down to the back of falling cat? Does it hover above the ground in perpetual indecision?"
I think that the overexposure might not have been as apparent if I had taken more care in adjusting the contrast in Photoshop. I'll go back and look at that.

seeing as how ive become a fan of minimilism (is that a word?), i really like this.. the off-centered approach works well.. very nice texture at full screen..

What a neat idea.. I love that tabletop.. What I find that really stands out, are the rays around the base of saltshaker.. Without your slight over-exposer you wouldn't have gotten such clear rays.. All round nice image and great desktop..

Very interesting and appealing shot. I agree with Ann, the table top pattern is nice. What is your new camera?

The composition, subject and lighting are all good here (although clearly not appreciated by the majority of caedes members). I am a fan of minimalistic artistic shots like these. Personally I think a greater DOF would have been better, the top of the salt shaker being out of focus lets it down a bit.

Hmm.....I like the lighting, wierd for a desktop sight, placed it on mine and it doesn't look all that bad! Nice work.

Nice...To me, it's a salute to some of the standardized things you see just about everywhere...but never really stop and think about them much...Into the favs, I've put this...

I really think this is a marvelous capture and I also agree on the great reflections. Superb image

Hurray Spring is Finally Here
It is a really neat artisitc shot. I agree with you that the light-play is good. Not spectacular, but it's leaning in the right direction. When moments like this come up, it's good to shoot many times, many ways, from many angles, allowing lighting and position to create the art our eyes might not otherwise see. I love the textured or mottled tabletop that compliments the salt and pepper shakers. The composition is very good. I would just have liked to see more drama, more "pop." anne =D

Tell me if you like it or don't but be sure to tell me why! I promise to always give honest and sincere (albeit gentle when necessary) critiques. MY NEW YEARS TIP for all, go have some fun with your new gear you got for Christmas. Do some things you rarely or never do. If you always shoot scenics, go shoot macros (or as close up as you can get.) Practice on different subjects, try new lighting techniques, bracket your shots (shoot the same image at different exposures and different apertures), get down low and shoot from your back, your belly, and your knees. Bend, twist, lean and climb up on things. Shoot toward the sky (carefully - blown out sunlight is NOT attractive :-) Just do something different and amaze yourself then share with us :-) Love you Caedians.
This is still one of my very favorite images on the site Geri....it puts a smile on my face every time I see it come up on the right of the page.......I love minimalism photography.....good job :o)
