Default Expectation

This is inspired by a print I saw at the Lakewood Arts Festival just outside of Cleveland. Not the same shot but it's similar. I just had to see if I can do something like this myself in my cobbled together "studio" on my dining room table.

And the bonus was, I got to drink the wine after every take!! Heehee.



Canon 50D
Canon EF24-70mm f/2.8
65mm @ 1/250 f/10
Off camera flash on manual at EV1/16
Curves and cloning (for the construction paper...) in PS and some local adjustment brush work in LR2.

Oh I like that! I would have messed up the first dozen or so takes, just so I could sip the wine!

Well done. Thats why I shoot wildlife. Not a creative bone in my body when it comes to photography like this.

Thanks guys! I...um...screwed up oh...you know...a few times so I had to drink the wine up to clean out the glass! Heh heh heh. The wine was good. Probably one of the more enjoyable "try to get the damn shot" times I've had in a while!

...gotta do this more often!
