RE: Photographing Hawaiian bottles - 10/20/2006 8:15:49 PM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline O.K everyone, Here is another picture that I took of a yellow,reddish, orangey amber bottle that I tumbled. I find that these colored bottles are hardest for me to shoot. Any suggestions or hints on how shoot them better would be helpful. Please, remember that natural light is out where I live.

RE: Photographing Hawaiian bottles - 10/20/2006 8:38:09 PM    HawaiiGlass4me   Posts: 70 Joined: 2/18/2004 Status: offline Hey Stinger I don't mind that you have your post here Try using clamp on lights and experiment with your angles. I am in the process of designing a portable bottle light box as I have lots of request to take photos of other local bottle collectors. The system needs to be able to photograph clear, cobalt, amber, embossed as well as painted lable bottles either day or night. I'm hoping to have it done real soon. I could use any advice from the members here as well. _____________________________ Rick Always looking for oriental medicine bottles and Hawaii soda bottles. (in reply to stinger haut) Post #: 24

RE: Photographing Hawaiian bottles - 10/20/2006 11:27:48 PM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Hi Rick, Thank you for not getting upset that I blew it with the posting. I was in a hurry (lunch with my eldest daughter today) If you can make a single light box that would be able to shoot any color bottle, you would have a nice export product from Hawaii. It would definitely have to be flexible and some how be adjustable to the different bottle sizes. Maybe multipule lights in different places and angles. A background that can be adjusted for color, texture, reflection, etc. We stay live on the eastside, sunshine at the right time to shoot bottles is very hard. So, we're motivated to try and overcome our lighting situation. Sounds exciting!!!!! Pono (in reply to HawaiiGlass4me) Post #: 27

RE: Photographing Hawaiian bottles - 10/30/2006 7:29:30 PM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Hi DiggerBryan, I just sold that Excelsior Hutch for $145.00, so yours might be worth more. Stinger (in reply to DiggerBryan) Post #: 33

RE: Photographing Hawaiian bottles - 10/30/2006 8:23:20 PM    HawaiiGlass4me   Posts: 70 Joined: 2/18/2004 Status: offline Hey Stinger (aka Brudda Pono) Are you sure that the Excelsior was the #339 (round top) no period after CO and period after Ltd. and HILO.? I think it's the #341(funnel top) that goes for around $80, and the #335 goes for $1200. It might be a good thing that I did not sell the Excelsior (pictured) for $50.   I think that I need to have my friend who's a fellow collector come over and help me price my extra bottles. I think I sold some of them too cheap. Oh, bummers... Good thing I sold them to a friend so it doesn't hurt too much. I still have a one or two boxes of Hawaii blobs that I am planning to take up to the collectors show on Oahu in in February or March (gotta check da calendar). A lot of the collectors there do not want to sell but are willing to do trades only. Laterz, _____________________________ Rick Always looking for oriental medicine bottles and Hawaii soda bottles.

RE: Photographing Hawaiian bottles - 10/30/2006 9:56:57 PM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Howsit Rick, To tell you the truth, I don't know which Excelsior hutch it really was. My neighbor used to work for Excelsior. He comes over and talks to me sometimes when I am preparing bottles for tumbling. He said if that Excelsior comes out of the tumbler like it was new, he wanted it. He came over yesterday and looked at it and offered me $145.00 for it. He said that he has never seen one with any whittle in it. Yeah, its Hilo fo reel, but I have one more with more whittle in it, so I sold it to him. I thought that it was worth about $80.00 or so. They wanted more kala than I wanted to pay for the bottle book, so I 'll keep looking. Bayfront is gonna go off big tomorrow, I am resting da back fo it. Pono (in reply to HawaiiGlass4me) Post #: 35

RE: Photographing Hawaiian bottles - 10/31/2006 12:07:54 AM    DiggerBryan   Posts: 803 Joined: 12/3/2004 From: Ohio Status: offline Thanks again for the info. I'll have to do some further inspection once I get the bottle. I attached a picture of the one I got. It looks like it has some case wear around the base. But nothing a good tumble can't cure. I have a few bottles from Hilo but I mainly collect from Oahu. Do you have any for sale/trade? I'm not sure I'll have what you're looking for but I can post them if you'd like.

I do have one extra Hawaiian Soda Works Honolulu, but I need to tumble it.   If you want to post your bottles, I would be interested in them. Stinger (in reply to DiggerBryan) Post #: 37
