Thanks for the feed back Melanie and Neil. I was expecting to see more illumination type pictures too. -Najinsky

I really like this one -- with the festive season in full swing it's a wonder there's not more of these in the gallery

Lovely lighting and exposure, and that cider press is interesting. --Melanie

Thanks for the comments Nico, Traveller and Bob. Really appreciate it.

Traveller - This image was shot raw and processed using Apples Aperture program. The adjustments were White Balance and then some saturation to compensate for the bits washed out by the WB. By default Aperture applies a small amout of noise reduction, a global saturation boost and some sharpening and thats basically what is used here. I rarely push up the NR as I find it usually comes at the expense of too much detail after a certain level. - Najinsky

Beautiful photograph, don't worry about the pixies... I think I saw a couple in the bottom of the garden the other night... but it wasn't cider I was drinking though?
Regards, Bob

Amazingly clean photograph for iso 1600...great detail and dof...did you apply Neatimage or the like? Best Wishes, Traveller

Julie, thanks for the feedback. The object is an old Cider Press. Rotting apples went into the trough, juice came out of a hole in the bottom and was given to the alcohol pixies to work their magic on. The more cider people drank, the smarter they got until one day they stopped believing in pixies and with that, all the pixies died. Without the alcohol pixies there was no point in crushing apples so it was turned into a flower pot. -Najinsky

I enjoyed this image. I'm sure there is some history to the object in the foreground, but can't recognise what it is. The lighting is excellent. Julie
