Believe it or not, that is a bandana/handkerchief. And, believe it or not, I got it at JR right outside of the humidor at some point last Spring. They had tons of different kinds on sale. I'm not much of a "bandana" guy, but was intrigued by some of the wilder patterns they had. Since it came from JR, I figured it was meant for these photos.

It really looks like it was added later, but it's sitting right under the sticks. Just like the purple/black one.

Re: Cigar Photography

Mike,

I really like your photography. Very nice. Please keep 'em coming!

I haven't had one yet. I picked up the last 2 that my B&M had.

Re: Cigar Photography

Very nice shots Mark!! Very sharp!

Re: Cigar Photography

I am pretty partial to the work of this photographer. He does great things with beautiful Cuban women & cigars

Re: Cigar Photography

I'm sure it's been talked about in this thread (I haven't read the whole thing) but it's always good to throw out Brooks name http://www.smokingstogie.com/

Best reviews and pics around. That's how cigar photography is done.

He's an "okay" professional photographer too. ;)

I was skimming through his shots, and saw the announcement on "contest winners," and I know one of those guys! How funny is that?

Re: Cigar Photography

Nice shots, 0002S. I am amazed at how good photos turn out now from cell phones. I remember the first time I heard of a camera in a phone, and I had a hard time connecting the ideas. Now, you can get a camera in a phone that is better than the camera I had at the time I struggled with the idea.

Did you do that editing on the phone, too?

Re: Cigar Photography

Nice shots at Corona!

I've never really thought about taking Cigar pics, but put a little thought into it and come up with a few good ideas and get them shot.

It's a great place and I'm lucky enough to be about 3.5 blocks walking distance from it.

Re: Cigar Photography

Great shots, Mark. Beautiful colors.

No offense man, but I really don't feel like a cell phone picture meets the "requirements" of the thread. I love seeing a cigar pic as much as the next guy, but this thread is for the really well planned and executed photos:2

That being said, I'd love to see some higher quality pics of your cigars etc.

I've tried to format these photos so they can be screen savers. Larger sizes are available here. Just click on the all sizes button at each picture.

Re: Cigar Photography

Great shots, Dan! A few from today. The Camacho's have been good models lately - very patient with the photographer.

Fair enough. Meanwhile, you're sharing this thread with many others.

Well, there's "encouraging" him to take a more artistic approach and there's "encouraging" him not to post in the thread any more.
