I always felt your photography skills were excellent... I guess I had only seen your outdoor pics... Now I can safely say, your indoor shots are nothing less than dramatic!

RE: practicing my photography - 9/10/2006 9:54:40 AM    annie44 Posts: 1138 Joined: 10/27/2005 Status: offline Thanks Ron!  Yesterday in Fredericksburg, VA I picked up a Dr. Soule's which you can see next to the Doyle's I purchased from you - the color on both of them is very elusive - completely dependent on the light they're in and the bottles/background next to them.

Status: offline Annie, I agree with the others nice pics not to mention the bottles, I have some info on the Dr. Soules/Doyles bottle, from the OLD BOTTLE  magazine.  If you're interested I can mail you a copy, along with some other ads I have, just email or pm  your address. I'll try to get a pic of the front cover later, sorta in a rush right now. (in reply to annie44) Post #: 7

Hey Cindy... Try holding that Doyle's up against your computer screen... When I did that, I saw for the first time the actual bands of colors on it...

RE: practicing my photography - 9/10/2006 2:28:15 PM    annie44 Posts: 1138 Joined: 10/27/2005 Status: offline cc6pack - I sent you a PM - let me know if you don't get it.  I would be very interested in the article on the Doyles/Soules bottles. Ron - Tried your trick with the computer, and I see what you mean.  It is a lighter amber than the ones I usually see on ebay to begin with, but held in the light you see the middle section that is very light, and slightly olive.  Sometimes you can catch that olive on the edges of the bottle as well.  < Message edited by annie44 -- 9/10/2006 2:33:15 PM > (in reply to annie44) Post #: 9

RE: practicing my photography - 9/10/2006 2:35:25 PM    annie44 Posts: 1138 Joined: 10/27/2005 Status: offline Thanks, Warren. The Soule's bottle is a much thicker, heavier glass than the Doyle's.  Is that always the case?  Ron, do you still have the black glass Soule's?     (in reply to annie44) Post #: 12

RE: practicing my photography - 9/12/2006 1:01:47 AM    Flaschenjager Posts: 1141 Joined: 12/21/2002 From: Central Virginia - USA Status: offline Hi annie44 - This is kinda weird, but I was bottle hunting (hitting antique shops) in Fredericksburg, VA on the same day as you. I live about 1 1/2 hours southwest of that and rarely/never hunt for glass in that area. We hit many stores and after a 4 PM start.   One shop that closed at five, had tons of glass and CW relics, but 85% of the bottles were English. I need to go back again, 'cause I'm sure we missed some places. . . . .I didn't buy a thing. _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!

RE: practicing my photography - 9/12/2006 7:41:55 AM    annie44 Posts: 1138 Joined: 10/27/2005 Status: offline Meech, The store with the English bottles is where I found the Dr. Soules Hop Bitters.  The Civil War store that I have mentioned on the forums previously is about a mile north of Fredericksburg and the owner has quite a few good bottles and is also a really nice guy with lots of interesting information.  If you send me a PM I'll give you his store info/phone number.  I live about 45 minutes north of Fredericksburg -always searching for good places to scout for bottles!
