About Elaborating on the triptych I made back in 1998, I thought of using the refraction of the light for a product presentation photo. Disco Revives....

Comments, as usual, are appreciated!

Cheers,

Hugo

Another great one.
For me not as powerful as the other two, cause, although similar in appearence and well suitable in the series, the subject is simply less appealing to me. Mind you, this doesn't mean that I do not like a glass of beer (I prefer wine) every now and then. In any case, I can see the link between this subject and the other two of the series.
Superbely composed image, great work
I really enjoyed watching this series
Best regards - Emgy

Good commercial shot.
It is magic lights,but I don't like that cd under
Heineken cap.Cd behind glass is good detail.
Cheers!

Also this one and here the element of lighting looks stronger! Especialy at the glass of beer! Little ....advertisment.... :-) but not big deal my friend. If the job is good... so Heineken!

Having read through the comments, and your reply vis-a-vis the angle width & head, I concur with the following ideas (and add some) which may have improved the image IMHO,

- no patterning on the glass;
- a fresh beer, or shake-up, to give it a head (without the beer cap this looks like a glass of ginger ale - the cafe style patterned glass strengthens this impression);
- a stronger light behind or on the glass (in looks a little flat here);
- a context (what is the connection between the beer and the CDs or digital age?).

Otherwise I like the interplay of refraction and colour - a lot can be done with this. I really like "Digitronic I".

Thank you for your own constructive comments regarding Sushi Chefs and the time you took to work with the image, they have been invaluable in the way I look at it, and while I am partial to the ambiguity which disturbed you, you have given me a more critical eye which is why I submit my work to Usefilm. You are one of the few photographers which give original, honest and considered opinions.

Kind regards.

Hi Hugo,

Great composition, I like the random placement of the CDs. I also like the tilt as it makes the photo more dynamic. Great lighting too, makes the glass stand out.

This is what I would have done:

- Put a black background, because there is a distracting element there, I think its a portion of the monitor?

- Use a glass that has no distracting decorations, or use a mug.

- Add a bottle to the composition.

Take care...

The colours are very eye-catching! There were already some remarks about the head on the beer, I also think it should be there... I guess the seasoned product photographer will know some dirty trick to keep it longer :) I don't know it, but I heared already about perspex ice cubes, and ice cream made out of sugar and frying fat, something like that...

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your comment. You are right about the head on the beer. It should've been there, and it was there originally, but then the setting moved, and after replacing it, the head was gone. I also concidered spilling a bit, but I would've ruined my photos on CD...;o) I'll elaborate on it a bit more.

I had to use a really small glass in order to create the wide angle effect, that's another reason I didn't go for a bottle.

Talk to you later,

Take care,

Hugo

hi hugo, wonderful shot! you have managed to capture 2 of my passions. music and beer! they are just perfect companions. technically, i have no comments. great perspective, colors, and detail.

artistically, i have to agree with gerhard. i think a bottle of grolsch with it's distinctive shape and cap would increase interest and pull the eye more. granted, you will end up with a significantly "greener" composition but i think that as a product advert it would get more eyeballs. if it's a heineken advert, replace the glass with a bottle and keep the cap in the foreground. looking at it further, same shot but with more head on the beer. perhaps overflowing slightly.

regardless, this is great shot!
