The lighting is actually my least favorite aspect of this shot.
I took the photo in my dining room, where I have an overhead incandescent chandelier on a dimmer switch. The camera was mounted on a tripod, and this is a two second exposure.
The shadow from the glass is from two candles just to the left of the lens of the camera. I didn’t notice these shadows when I was shooting, so this shot is a great learning experience. Check the shadows… always check the shadows!
Very cool. The red background gives it a classy look. Reminds me of some sort of liquor advertisement. Conveniently enough I have a clementine sitting right next to me.

Did you photoshop the edges of the photo ?
I did add a vignette effect, yes. Felt like it added to this particular capture.
Nice shot, the short depth of field works well. What did you use for lighting?

but I like the shadows… life, even still lifes, always have unexpected shadows. profound
Fair enough… I guess my point is that in an image in which I tried to plan and control everything, I forgot that shadows exist. D’oh!
very fresh look… I like it…
