Challenge: Rhythm II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S1 IS
Location: Matosinhos, Portugal
Date: May 1, 2006
Aperture: f/3.1
ISO: 200
Shutter: 0.6s
Galleries: Interior, Macro
Date Uploaded: May 1, 2006

 Two glasses, placed in front of my Linux box playin' some cool funky/jazzy/house music, with spectrometer on fullscreen. Tried longer exposures, shorter exposures, but this seems to work best. Also thought of using straight tubular glasses (not rounded, wine-type ones), but the effect of the background on the glass is much more dramatic with these.
Shot with tripod, manual settings, with a desk lamp as the single light source.
Levels / curves, NeatImage, border.
I wish this was advanced edit so I could get rid of those darn reflections... also I expect to meet the challenge!

There's something here that seems a tiny bit off, but I can't figure out what it is... Basically I like it, though.

This looks good, loved the thumb nail, but something doesn't "feel" quite right re "rhythm", and I can't think what it is...... It may be the "two" glasses, as I think "three" glasses would have made this "pop".....

i like the colorful pattern, but not sure i like the glasses or the composition. it just looks like a winamp visualization behind 2 glasses.
