My first picture that is not a happy snap and my first challenge. Also the last to be taken with the Coolpix 5700 as I have just sold it on ebay and am waiting for my D70.
As I interpret this challenge to be more technical rather than photogenic I concentrated more on that aspect.
I wanted an image that made me concentrate on lighting, angle and framing rather than subject.
Looking around my office I decided on the teddy (only 3" high)and threw in the mini-bottle to give the illusion of perspective.
For lighting I found a usb light that let me twist & position it until on the 39th shot I was satisfied with the mood. Cropped in Photoshop and tried messing around with levels & curves but decided to leave 'as is'.
Ironically, doing this shoot taught me more about this camera than I have learnt since purchasing it 18 months ago. Really looking forward to your critiques
