Taking "Professional" Pix - 1/31/2007 9:51:44 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2015 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline A friend sent me this link to an eBay forum. One poster shows his picture-taking set-up and examples of items photographed. Thought it may be of use to interested Peeps. He also posts a link to another website with pic-taking tips. http://forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.jspa?threadID=1000428742&tstart=80&mod=1169925593191 _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

It is a "work in progess".It was a learning experience for sure, but once I got into it, it wasn't so difficult. I have lots of tweaking to do yet and,  am always looking for additional info or pix to add. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again for the complimentary words. _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

However when taking pics of glass you need a bit more light from above and behind the bottles then from the front. to get good clear embossing. But I have used a similar set up to take the following pictures. I still have to buy a couple more lights to get things as bright as i want them.

Overcast days are my favorite for photographing anything, works great with bottles too. (in reply to annie44) Post #: 7
