ipod

thought of this right before plugging in the ipod to charge (damn mini battery)

my ipod sitting on the surface of a LCD monitor. (a PC monitor in spite of the logo)

The trick here is the ipod is sitting in the middle of a dell 2005fpw (same panel as an apple cinema display). The logo is displayed on the screen, which is also the primary light source. The edge lighting is my desk lamp which is much cooler and being diffusly reflected by the LCD's anti glare coating.

Wierd idea but I thought the result was kind of unusual and neat.

A very good interpretation of a common day object. Great lighting and colour. Very much as a advertising look/feel to it.

KC - Just a fun way to kill time. I discovered the various ipod groups on flickr and thought "hmm, everyone's seen an ipod, how can I make it look a bit more interesting". If it were for any purpose I would've used a tripod.

OH actually you're saying you attached your Apple monitor to a Windows machine? At second glance it doesn't look like a sticker.

Cool. Looks like one of those setups where you could shoot lots of angles, but you definitely picked a VERY interesting one.
Curious as to the lighting setup you used.
Grade B (from the Report Card..Get Graded group)

Excellent shot, so well composed and interesting. The gold around the top is unusual but works well with the colours. Great job.

looks like an advertising shot - the colour range and subtlety of the light variations is impressive.

Glossy and classy. Suits well with Apple's trademark design. Very nice.

Nice composition, lighting is very diffuse. Interesting idea, I agree looks a bit like an ad. The line across the apple on the screen is a bit distracting, but very good overall

From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 5/7 ranking.

A cool advert photo. The colours are great. A little soft for such a clinical and precise instrument though. Also I feel that the tilt to the right is a little severe for comfort. Overall good shot though. From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a _5.5/7 ranking.

@mirea's realm - Ergh, I feel a bit disengenuous. Thanks for the thoughtful and accurate comments. I hate this photo, although it made the top 50 in explore and people occasionally dig it. This was a study that I cynically posted because it's so completely vapid that I thought it would appeal to a certain flickr crowd: Vaguely cool looking, very dig trick with color temperature, but it says nothing other than "check my fancy toy". Appologies, score away, but I respect the criticism in this group and felt a bit callous after Furdyphe's insightful and friendly critique.

Oliver Lavery says:

lmao, exactly. I really should've tagged it HDR for the 20,000 views and 400 instant favs regardless of the image itself (hey the whitepoint warp could pass as hdr).

My bad, I dig everyone's opinion in general, even the silly ones. I guess I was feeling pissy after a day of being harassed via blackberry by a group admin that just wouldn't understand that I didn't mind that he thought an image I posted to his pool didn't "fit with the theme".

Appologies all. Great group, y'all deserve better :(

Very interesting idea, and I like how you worked it. I'm going to try this with a few of my toys.

The colors are really good, and comming from a studio background this is very professional. The only difference is the amount of retouch and color "perfection" that would occur. For example the dial on your ipod looks yellow, which makes it look old and dirty. In the real world that would be fixed to a more cleanish looking hue.

From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 7/7 ranking.

Creo que es una fotografía perfecta, tanto por la composición, por la nitidez como por los colores.

elTwitcho says:

What do you know, now I'm back to score it ;)

Subject matter aside, it really does seem like a studio shot, and it's excellent. The menu dial is kind of a sickly yellow colour though, and more than that the colour is uneven so it looks a bit grubby. Otherwise, wow, it's quite nicely done

From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 6.5/7 ranking.

Yes I'm a little bit agree with gundunasu.... For sure I prefer apple than PC. By the way, the subject of the photo is hard to understand...

Thanks for the comments all!

@gundunasu - that's an interesting thing that happens when you photograph an LCD. You can see the matrix of the LCD screen in the forground. It's not a print photo, just an apple background.

I'm making an educational electronics recycling video to promote the importance of proper ewaste disposal. I would like to use pictures of old and new cell phones, mp3 players and computers (lap top or desk top).

If you wouldn't mind donating and posting a pic of your old electronic equipment that I could use, I would greatly appreciate it!
