Guns & Roses Redux
Apr 26, 2015 12:33:50 #
Not being satisfied with the first take on the "Guns & Roses" theme, I decided to give it another try. I found an old brown whisky bottle, downloaded a label and pasted it on, then added a few odds and ends to the scene to give it a somewhat "period" look.
Perhaps a little "cluttered" for some, but often, I like a photo that gives the viewer something to look at.... to take the time to see what all the image has to offer, and to give some thought to the overall theme posed.
Taken with a Pentax K-50 using a SMC Pentax DA L 18-55mm WR lens. ISO 400, 1/2 @ f:9.5

Thanks for the kind comments. There has been some less than favorable reviews of the "kit lens" that comes with the K-50, but I think if you view the image in the download, you can see that it is certainly NOT lacking in sharpness. I have both the regular 18-55mm and the weather resistant (WR) variety, and personally, I think the WR version is much better. The same can be said for the 50-200mm WR lens.

Very nice shot Dewman. I like the composition, lots to look at in the picture.

I think you've done a very good job with this. It's not too busy IMHO and the touch of red adds a nice touch to the subtle colors. The lighting creates the right mood. Yes, maybe a deck of cards or just a few thrown in would add to the story.
