Friday Eye Candy Contest
This image, photographed by my husband and digitally processed by me, was for a client providing wines at the Academy Awards. Cool, eh?
For my fellow graphic design geeks out there: I set it up to print four color process plus a double hit of a spot red on uncoated cover stock. :)
So here's where the contest comes in. Tell me (in a comment only please!) where this image was photographed. Everyone who guesses correctly will be entered into a drawing and I will choose a winner at random. I will give you one clue, which may or may not be misleading (you never know with me!): the digital processing on this image consisted of adding and adjusting coloring and noise.
You have until Wednesday, October 3 (aaaaaack! next week is October already!) midnight PST to enter the contest. The winner will receive this shawl stick:
Hey! What are you waiting for?! Get commenting already. ;)
Have a great weekend everyone!

Gorgeous picture! I think it was done in front of the TV, maybe on Emmy night :)
I think it was photo-ed in husbands studio- which either has Hollywood as a backdrop or perhaps that comes as a backdrop in a program or prof/photographer computer.
I really know nothing but I love that pin!
That shawl stick is beautiful!I think it was taken with a movie theater screen in the background.
was is shot in front of television?
Rosemary- In a movie theater?
You know, I haven't a clue. Not a clue. So I'm just going to say something, ummmmm let's see in your house? :)
Very cool picture. Ack! Your contests are always very challenging. Um, I think Susieh has it right - tv or a poster, in your house.
(I think I might have it this time!)
I think it's shot in front of a video store, Hollywood Video. Then you did your wonderful touches. Terry G
I know nothing...no, less than nothing...about photography, but I'm going to guess it was taken in front of a tv.
Oh phooey, I really don't know but I want that shawl stick so I'll throw out a stab in the dark.
I'm guessing it was taken in your home, in front of a poster, on a bright sunny day.
I am glad you enjoyed Daphne!
And your shawl pins are lovely. Can't wait to see your book!
I'll gues in the studio with a Hollywood poster.
I am sadly pathetic when it comes to photography. So my guess is, background shot through a window and the foreground was overlayed onto the background. If that makes sense, maybe it doesn't. lol
I'm guessing in front of the TV. Specifically, in front of a 20th Century Fox opening sequence. Probably a paused in the right spot one.
I think it was taken in front of the video rental place. Not htat I need a new magic wand, but still...
In your family Room, in front of TV. Nice blog by the way!!!!
Okay, my first thought was "why *wouldn't* it be in the studio/photo room with a backdrop? But since that's already been taken and no one has guessed the obvious, I'll guess that it was taken in Hollywood.
I must admit that I first read all of the other comments because I really had no idea. What makes most sense to me that it was taken in the studio with a poster or a tv screen that was on hold but that was made blurry on the screen.
Too difficult! Backdrop reminds me of the grainy, old films. Watch a film at home. Stop at that shot. Take picture. Enjoy drink!
I guess it was taken in your living room in front of the tv ;-)
OK - You live in CA - did you really take it in front of the Hollywood sign on the hill?
Well, that is the Hollywood sign on the Hollywood hill, and the V of light above it would be searchlights lighting up the sky during the awards. I know you don't live near Hollywood, so the picture could have been grafted (kitchenered?) from just about anywhere.
Was it taken from a movie/video capture?
Well I figure you are in front of the television..hoping you are enjoying that glass of wine. Not sure what show you are watching, there could be several.
The glass appears to have a window in it's reflection, so I'm going to guess it was taken in someone's livingroom infront of an older, non-HD tv! (like my house. :)
I guess infront of a backdrop of a picture of Hollywood hills in your studio. I dunno- thats my answer and I'm stickin with it!
My first thought was a big Hollywood poster/print, so I'll stick with that. You and hubby make a great artistic team
Oh, and love the shawl pin!
In a movie theatre!
For the contest - I think its a Hollywood T shirt used as a backdrop.
My first thought was a movie theatre but I guess TV would be about the same.
Well, the sign does not light up (it is lit, but it doesn't light up) so that would indicate a projected image of some sort, which you'd have to be able to control, i.e., stop long enough to get the pic.
So I would say in front of a television set with the image from a DVD or VHS tape on pause in the background and then turned to sepia via the wonders of Photoshop.
My guess would have been the Hollywood video store sign. I like the t-shirt one too.
Well, since I am photographically challenged, I am going to guess at the Geyser Winery for the upcoming event. . . but of course, I have no clue! I just love your pins!
In front of the TV?
In the comfort of your very own family room of course!
Like the others i think it is a backdrop from the tv or the computer screen. Like the red accents!
Very, very cool photograph. I'll go with in front of the tv, too.
I think it was in front of Hollywood video store - don't really know but your shawl pin is a thing of beauty - just what I need for my shawl for my son's wedding!
I'll guess (uncreatively) that the picture was taken in front of a TV.
I'd say a poster, whether a commercial one or an advertising still, and in the studio. I have seen the Hollywood sign many many times (when it's not obscured by smoke or smog) and it never ever looks like that in real life!
Your hubby photographed the glass and bottle the kitchen counter, and you added the background later.
You both sampled the wine.
I am guessing in front of a movie/tv especially since you had to edit sound?
Wow, I may or may not be making in under the wire. I have been buying and trying to sell homes lately and that is all consuming. So, I have never been to L.A. but I am going to guess that there is rarely a chance that the Hoolywood sign would look that good. So I am guessing in your studio, in daylight. It has that old Hollywood feel. It must be awesome to work for wineries. I imagine big budgets?! (And maybe some perks?) Maybe someday we can compare Sonoma wines to Niagara wines.
Have a glass for me. Sorry I have been tardy reading blogs lately.
Ah yes. You did that shoot at home. You used a magazine ad of the new movie, Hollyland as a backdrop.
(I have NO idea but I sure love that pin)

Is it on the sand on the beach?
