I had some errands in downtown Ashland this morning then went to lunch at the Granite Taproom. I came home with several images that could have qualified for image of the day but finally decided this closeup of the top of my water bottle at the restaurant was my favorite. I was particularly fascinated by the old school mechanism to hold the cap on the bottle as well as the blue color of the cap. Red lamps on the adjacent tabletops added another pop of color.

This was shot with the Canon EOS M 18-55 mm lens with a closeup filter. ISO 1600 1/160 at f8. I often subscribe to the f8 and be there school of thought when hand holding. I was pleased with the way background blurred out. In post processing I went with extreme detail extraction in color efex pro with also a significant amount of saturation and warmth.
