Those pictures are very nice and I like the Waner's Safe Diabetes cure bottle.

I finally broke down and bought some really good lights for photography. What a difference!

Nice bottles, nice images! How about describing your new lights and the set-up you used to produce the images. Many of us might benefit from your experience.

Thanks guys!

Sure thing. I threw together a quick pic to show my basic set-up. You need to adjust the light up/down and farther/closer to the bottle depending on your camera settings and strength of your lights. I put a white piece of card stock behind mine and really use the over head light for back lighting. This helps the bottle and the background look more separate.

Nice! Daylight CFLs are a boon to our image-making! I use CFLs, color-corrected flourescents, and even color-corrected LEDs for some purposes.

Very nice photos.
Thanks for the info on your set up as well. Some day I'll figure it out as well.
