I dug one of the standard aqua pontiled T&M bottles in a trash pit in Galveston, Texas. Never knew they came in different shades-love this!

Another Mortimore

This one matches the other Mortimore for top shelfishness. I'm still trying for photo techniques that don't suck so much. This represents a new method, where the glass isn't washed out, but detail comes up. It's a work in progress.

Natural sunlight above you works best. I try to have soft light on the front when doing indoor photos. A solid black background works great.

Sunlight from the front

Yep front sun light helped a lot. Took some experimenting with angles to lose the wash out. But here it is again.

I love glass bottles that are full of tiny bubbles. I think Don Ho sang about such glass. Love the great mouth too. (on the jar,, not Don Ho)
