Grey Goose

previous /next

I know I posted 2 consecutive days...wow!!! I haven't done that in a long time. But I've been having some fun with my new DIY photography "toys" and I'm anxious to share some of the photos.

In keeping with yesterdays shot, this is what I was actually shooting before I took yesterday's. I think it turned out ok. I should have rotated the bottle a little bit more so that the "S" and the "E" in goose was more in the shot. A little more refining to do and more practice is needed but not bad for the first time out of the (light)box...I know, I know, that was just corny!

I used another one of my new DIY photography toys in the photo posted at Parallel Universe if anyone is interested in checking it out.

Very nice. It looks good enough to drink. I would try moving the whole setup farther from the background to eliminate the shadows.

@Russ. Thanks Russ. I really wanted to move it further from the background but it wasn't a big enough lightbox for me to do that. The lightbox I made was not quite large enough for this set up. I need to make a larger box. The bottle was too tall and the background sweep was too short. I knew I would have some shadow issues. I suppose I could have brushed them out in photoshop.

Hi Laurie
Beautiful composition, very nice light and a great background!I'm really fan of this picture! how did you do the white background?

@ricochet...Thanks!

The white background sweep is a piece of white poster board. It was a little smaller than what I would have liked. I think I will try to get my hands on a roll of white paper.
