Minutes to McUrbanism - Canon EOS-1Ds & 17-40 at 21mm ISO100 f/13 5s | http://ronnieling.com/
Very experimental image which I've wanted to try out for a while, was finally bored enough to give it a go. Involved about 40 minutes at me' local Westfield, a Superclamp, chewing gum, last weeks Weeekend Australian and some fast talking to curious security guards. Took about 60 frames to get everything right.
C&C Appreciated.

hehe thats a really interesting shot, the bubble gum under the cup is sort of bugging me though, did you use it to keep it in place? i think it would have been better if it was hidden, like slightly behind the rim. but otherwise really nice work!

I like it.
I like it a lot.
The blue colouration in the background is great, and it's correct: you've pretty much nailed the wb judging by the colours in the cup.
This is a good concept, and you've done well in its execution.

Chewing gum??

I thought you used blue-tacks....
Really nice effect, loved it.
What is the superclamp you were talking about? did you use that to mount the 1D?

Agreed with the previous comments...it's fine shot. Interesting how the natural perspective/vanishing point have worked to make the side of the mackers cup look "straight walled" parallel, did you try switching it around so the lid/straw were facing the camera?

I'm surprised at how sharp the entire trolley is, no exif data attached, mind letting us know
