Jim Beam

[Wazza]

Whilst out with friends on Sunday, they were drinking, and I had a quick idea..

thats pretty cool

[solinger]

What is that beverage exactly? Burbon in a can? :eek:

[Wazza]

Bourban and Cola, however, I presume the water content has increased a bit

:D

Thanks.

[Sathi]

That is a great shot, very cool. I didn't know mixed drinks are in cans now, nice.

[Desertraptor]

Where have you guys been hiding. We have had UDL's, Beam and Cola, JD and Cola for years.

[Wazza]

Must just be an Australian and New Zealand thing.

We like things easy. :D
RTD's are very big here.

[Skip Souza]

That is way cool. Reminds me of Dali for some reason.

[Angel_LCD]

Nice shot :) The drink in a can is an old thing here :p There are other rules about serving them so the nightclubs can serve them until closing time :)

[Sathi]

There must be some stupid law in the U.S that keeps them off the shelves.

[pcasciola]

Great idea Wazza. I like it a lot.

[SilentBob]

Really like the shot. Interesting idea for sure.
I looked at the shot and was thinking what I eventually read.....a can of Jim Beam, WTF.
Why dont we have those up here?

Regards,

Very interesting...never saw anything like that in a can around here. Cool idea.

[Carzee]

Good idea, reshoot with greater DOF blur and more light on the can to make it zing.

[Desertraptor]

They do tend to go down pretty easy which is possibly why they are not a common sight. At $AUD5.00 can it's cheaper to mix your own.

I like the shot very cool

Great new summertime drink.. a Jim Beam Float ;)

sorry.. couldn't resist... :)

.. they sell that stuff to the big kiddies over here.. you can pick it up at the gas stations, rest places on the autobahn, etc...

Yeah I knew it. I wish it was sunny, it only came out a few times, and you know how hard it is to take a can of Jim Beam off a girl, and take some photos. ;)

Could have easily increased DOF from f8 to f14 or more, a couple of stops, and increase ISO from 100 to say 400, and still maintain 1/60th second. I was hand holding, without looking through viewfinder, just above the water. One day I'm going to lose my 20D to the water. :rolleyes:

Here's another angle

And just to prove girls can't last 2min without their RTDs, I purposely left it behind, as my friend moaned, and went to get herself... Not before, I had a shot of her picking it up, as I'm kicking a heap of sand over her. :)

Would be even better if the can wasn't on a lean. I like where you can see the can breaking the surface of the water.. Thats pretty cool.

NICE! so now you're getting over the flu AND a black eye? :lol:

[Wazza]

Nah, trying to clean the sand on my 20D, when the sand and water was returned in my direction. ;)

Beam in a can, at a gas station near you, we don't have that here, but we do have DUI. Nice shot could not believe I eyes when I read the can, can you get it without the coke.

[myth337]

Beam in a can, at a gas station near youI'll make a shot next time I go out..

[MattyB]

bourban and cola in a can is the bums drink :P

i'm a fan of bundy rum dry with lime :D

loved the first photo, kicking sand on the girl while pissed make be chuckle.

[Wazza]

Yeah, I don't think it upset her too much. She was out with mye again the following weekend, when I went up Mt Eden.

I'm a fan of Coke, and also Red Bull/Vodka.
