A Few Photos - Arturo Fuente Chateau Natural Rothschild and Rolex GMTIIc 116713

My wife is working on a degree in Photography, and towards that end, I suggested she take a few pictures for one of her projects, using me!

Below are a couple of examples of what we liked best.....Inspired, thank you very much, by a thread from a few months ago, by Mark (Grumpy Badger)

She was going for a sort of Art Noir feeling.....playing with the use of stark, expressionistic lighting and stylized camera work.......I know I'm biased, but I kinda liked the results! May post a few more, once we have gone through them all.....

Enjoy, and feel free to become motivated to post some of your best loved pictures capturing you smoking your favorite cigars, showing you wearing your Rolex......

The first image is "alive"...

The second image is abstract; the smoldering smoke and the presence of uplighting to the underside of the brim is cool in that it ties those two elements of the composition together...

Thanks,
Randy
