rook Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Here is a photo I took this morning of a few sticks and a very old Abercrombie and Fitch Lighter. I thought it turned out quite nicely, what do you guys think?
nikesupremedunk Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Nice shot. Focus is a little off though, would have been better if it was on the band.
rook Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 Nice shot. Focus is a little off though, would have been better if it was on the band. Yeah, I was trying to focus on the body of the lighter to show off the ornate gold paint job.
Ginseng Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Yeah, I was trying to focus on the body of the lighter to show off the ornate gold paint job. I think it turned out quite well as is. In fact, I probably would have opened up the aperture a bit more to defocus the Cohiba band. You know it's a Cohiba. We can tell it's a Cohiba. I think you made the more compelling aesthetic choice by focusing on the very interesting decoration of the lighter. Wilkey
Paul3 Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Very cool. Always wished I had the photographers eye. As it is I'm relegated to enjoy the work of others.
CanuckSARTech Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Gorgeous!!! Love that pic. Awesome looking lighter too!
maverickdrinker Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Man, you guys are talented photographers. Beautiful shot.

Wilkey True, I can agree with that. Or, stopping down to have both the lighter and the band in focus could've been less distracting as well. Great shot either way though.
nick87night Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 great shot. was this done with a macro lens?
jimb2u Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Excellent detail in a beautifully arranged shot. Thanks for posting! Jim
rook Posted August 14, 2013 Author Posted August 14, 2013 great shot. was this done with a macro lens? I actually took this photo with my Nikon D3100 with a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX lense. Just goes to show you don't need the best equipment to get some good shots.
