I like the image. . . Reminiscent of Utah colors! Was it focus stacked?

Oh, BTW: I've already broken my Old Year's Resolution. Partly because I couldn't figure out how to 'turn off the raw' and partly because one of my cats was trying to climb one of the legs of my tripod. With the eighteen separate raw/uncooked exposures required to make the focus stack, something like a 4.2Gb stacked and blended file resulted (before flattening the layers, of course), and my total processing time became a whopping 15 minutes. It might arguably have been less had the cats not interrupted my time in front of the computer, but still, that's 15 minutes stolen from me. Fifteen whole minutes that I could've otherwise spent shooting outside in the dark and cold with nothing warm and heady to shoot.

Don't remember exactly, but the tanker truck arrived late in the morning and I shot the shot(s) a little after dark. So, five hours? maybe six?

Likewise reminiscent of the warm light cast by my under-cabinet (tungsten flavored) lights and the amber ambiance of less than 750mL. Yes, the image was focus stacked. Used an old 55mm f2.8 Ai Micro Nikkor (on a FF Nikon body) because short of one of the cats leaping up on my kitchen counter and batting at the cork, I didn't figure anything was going to move around very much. Unless I got overtaken by an overpowering thirst, that is.
<Note to self: must purchase a D850 soon so I won't have to manually re-focus so much. Doing so is so exhausting!>

Amazing what you guys from Utah can get away with.

I hope you'll keep it under your hat, Stan. The bribes I hafta pay are already pretty steep, and if word gets out....

Great New Year theme! Nice shot! Must have been not enough strength left to lift that heavy cork so high and stop the bottle

High quality work and subject, Jim! Enough of that and I am definitely "still."

Really nice shot, good color and angle. Woodford is what they put in their Mint Julep's at the Kentucky Derby. I bought once, loved it. Thanks

A key ingredient for a great sauce for salmon, too. Mix with melted butter and brown sugar, bake, enjoy.
