First I wasn't shooting parallel to the plain of the tiles so I wanted as much DOF as possible. The perspective was corrected in PS. I shot in Aperature mode at f20 and let the speed land where it wanted to.
Second, lighting was a single incandescent bulb and it wasn't all that bright. The flourescent lights in the room were turned off because I don't like mixing light source types.
Third I shoot at ISO 100 unless I absolutely have to go to a higher speed. I didn't need more speed here so I kept the camera at ISO 100. I probably should have used the self timer to eliminiate any camera shake.
And I decided to reshoot it anyway.

ditto... it's blurry... why did you use 3 secs?

Hummm....is it my eyes or is this at bit blurry for a DSLR? Where is the 3d box?
Great idea, nice graphic. Made me think of another approach, but it would be too close to this: all the scrabble pieces jumbled inside their box, with only the word "think" right side up... Or a more set-up game of scrabble with several words forming a box shape and the word "think" within these words. I do like the woodgrain and tones on this one. - Tom
