Taking "Professional" Pix - 1/31/2007 9:51:44 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2420 Joined: 4/17/2005 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 Post #: 1

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. (in reply to druggistnut) Post #: 3

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
