Compare and Contrast - Perspective


Ever since the 1980s when I became interested in recycling I have been fascinated with the physical things in our life that we take for granted. I think we buy a lot of things that we dispose of very quickly and I try to remind myself of that often. Both shots are of the container that has already been emptied of my favorite splurge. The photo at the top was taken while I was holding the bottle with one hand and the camera with the other. This is the shot taken with the flash, I tried it without and the results were poor. For the bottom shot I did not use the flash. I like the star design and the out of focus frame of the top shot. But if I was in the advertising department I would prefer the bottom shot with the V8 logo front and center like it is!

Wow! That's a great picture of the inside of the bottle. You really can't tell that it's the same object as in the second photo. I really love how the bottom seems so clear and in focus while everything else sort of revolves around it.

I love the opposite perspectives; It is like you took a familiar object and demonstrated both what we immediately see and what lies underneath.
