ever since i saw a picture 5 years ago of a lit and glowing cigar in the middle of a bunch of unlit ones, I have wanted to take this picture. I finally got the chance a few weeks ago. for once i managed not to arse it up, wahoo!

Great photo though - sorry I didn't mention it in my first post.

Don't know what the relevance for the staying hard link is - seems to only feature cigarettes rather than cigars....

Hmm, but his cuff is sharp whilst his fingers are very blurred - yet both are about the same distance from the camera...

if his hand and cuff were the same distance from the camera, the cigar would not be very close to his mouth! try it out and you will see what i mean

Nice pic and DOF - not sure about his tie mind. (unless he'd just slit his throat, in which case he's forgiven)

I agree...



Maybe not what you meant though...
