Carrot juice is nasty

[KRobertson]

Friend of mine had suggested I drink some carrot juice for a few days... little did I know, he'd never tried the stuff and didn't know how nasty it was.

During a break between chugging it down one day, decided to snap a few pics of it in the sunlight. C&C appreciated!

I drink it every day.

It's one of the best things for you - fresh, though. Not bottled.


Some nice detail on the bottle! :)

Good colors, but I think it needs a wee bit of a crop.

Yeah, I'd noticed some of the CA around the edge of the bottle. Took it with my Sigma 30/1.4, which doesn't usually get CA, but got a little this time.

Stands for Chromatic Aboration...

Thanks, what causes it? I haven't really noticed it in any of my photos.

[Unreal_Nature]

It's caused by the difference in the amount that shorter wavelengths of light (blue) are bent when passing through the various glass elements of the lens versus how much the longer (red) wavelenghts are bent. If not corrected for in the lens design, the different colors end up out of sync when they hit the sensor.

HOWEVER... in this photo, I don't think there was any CA. The color band on my extreme enlargement is due to my quickie masking, used to apply different manipulations to the bottle and the background. It was a compositional exercise/commentary on the original - that didn't work. Sorry about that.

Which can happen if one or more of the many elements in your lens gets out of whack... like if you drop it on the sidewalk... which happened to me. RIP poor kit lens, RIP.

Oooo - the dreaded sidewalk drop. Must admit I've been there. **shudder** such painful memories.

[thebugster1]

Athena, MCB lol! I can definitely relate to that as well. A very sad day in my life... :( Fortunately it was only ONCE, unlike my cell phone wich happens WAY too often!

Unreal_Nature thank you for that explanation. I looked all over the net and couldn't find anything so simply put and well written.

Sadly - I dropped my 50mm and had to be without it for MONTHS while it was at Canon Thailand probably sitting on a self. They had to replace the entire motor. And the phone - it gets dropped several times a day. I'm amazed with each day that it still works. lol
