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

He's an "okay" professional photographer too.

I'm not sure I have ever visited that site. But it's pretty cool.

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

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?

Yes, I use an in phone editing app to create these pics.

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.

Nice shots at Corona!

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

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

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

To each their own! I was just about to comment on my enjoyment of the texture of that pic. Use of "lo-fi" equipment does not negate one's artistry- a tool is a tool is a tool. I fail to understand how a glance at this member's photo can inform you of how "well planned" that photo was.
