What is this months photo challenge??????????????

Woops...found it....."Beer"

[iceman (Mike)]

No entries yet.. i'm not a beer drinker myself, finding it difficult to find inspiration of what to shoot for the subject.

Thanks Laurie, the glasses come with the 1.5 litre Grolsch bottles as a pack, 2 glasses and the beer for around $25 I think. The fire's a gas coal grate replica, I put it in when I built the house.

do you know how far i would have to drive to resolve a bottle of internationally renowned boags premium beer to take a picture tru my 1250mm fl dob with a 6mm ep in.

this is a tough on petrol challenge. at least it won't move!!!

ha ha you eq boys, last laugh is with us, whilst you are off taking shots like striker of the stars, us dob owners can take pictures of beer bottles from km's away........

Nice one Simon, I like it!

Clever shot Andrew. But you do know of course that doing that to a Corona is going to upset a few people around here.

At least it wasn't rum

How did you take the shot? Did you set the camera to take multiple exposures half a second or quicker apart? Or did you have a case and kept going on trial and error

No way, I wouldn't waste a whole case.
Actually it worked first go, single shot.
I had to build a circuit that would trigger a flash gun when it detects a sound.
(I havn't forgotten you ICEMAN , I'll build you one too. )

Using the 300D on BULB setting, the bottle was dropped in darkness, triggering the flash gun (not the one on the 300D).
Mind you I had already set the focus manually and chosen the ISO before hand, obviously.

Ah yes of course ....the light bulb

Mike you need to get a "belting head against brick wall" smilie just for me

[iceman (Mike)]

That's a great shot Andrew, I really love it!

I won't hold you to building me one though, as great as it would be, my camera just can't be triggered in that way. It's a simple Sony DSCP100 digicam.

Thanks anyway, when I get a DSLR though I'll be back

That's a great shot, and a great idea.
