These are okay but I'd rather see the rest of the glass and the bottle too. Is there a hole in the glass in the last one?

Gareth · 04-19-2014, 03:22 PM

No hole, I accidently missed the glass to start with and this is the run off from that. It does look like that though doesn't it!

Love them. Exactly how many arms do you have that you can hold a glass, bottle and a camera? One other thing. "in the living room"?

Pentigor · 04-19-2014, 11:32 PM

Amazing, the light is perfect! Great living room photography!

lol thanks guys!

Hope this picture works, took it off my camera phone last night to show how neanderthal the set up was!
2 garden kids chairs to get the height for the backdrop, black muslin cotton on sofa camera left and base, black card camera right and white card for a backdrop. Note the crocodile chips on a DVD case to hold the glass in place with white paper on DVD case to avoid colour leak and the Lego to prop up one side

Great!!!

Love your comment on the Neanderthal setup, and the idea of greenbluepurpleyellow wine...

Crux · 04-20-2014, 11:06 AM

Thanks for showing your set up. Amazing what you can do with a little bit of ingenuity. Very nice set.

Gareth · 04-20-2014, 11:56 AM

On the contrary, you've shown us what's possible with simple, everyday resources. Bravo!

Cool pics...!

and the set up is equally good. I chuckled when I saw the stool on top of another stool....A+ for resourcefulness.

Awesome setup. Ty for relieving the magic behind it.
