The picture thread

Here are a couple shots of flakes of penzance from my jar. Bought from the B&M in Oct '08.

Both of these are just the flakes laying on my desk with my desk lamp over the top of them. No editing of either other then to resize the pic.

1st one is with just regular indoor light flash on a 5mp sony cybershot camera. Still looks alot darker with alot less lighter streaking then the one MFM posted:


Second one, one more shot, no flash. Pretty much looks just like it does to the eye laying there on my desk. MUCH darker!


Very interesting! Perhaps that tin is fairly young? I know the B&M had the bulk bag that mine was from open for quite some time in a jar on the counter (months). And this sample I have had at my house for the last 4.

Pic #2 looks like every tin of Pez I ever opened.

But for credit due, More'sic takes a heck of a nice photo.

Looking at the first pic under better lighting, I would say that my Penz is pretty close to that.

The darkness in the bottom pic I would say is due to underexposure and poor lighting.

The nature of the lighting I took my pic in was more of an ambient, warm light which will increase the perceptions of browns. I some of the focus was on getting the baccy light enough to see good texture too. I also combined four or five photos to get a precise depth of field, so the in-focus parts and increased texture may make it look lighter.


Or is may just be younger. Tin was bought in Nov. and opened in Dec.

I have three more tins, so we'll see what the next one looks like. Gotta smoke through this stuff first though.
