Hi fellow members,
I am new to shooting bottle pictures and would like some feedback on the following pictures.
I just shot them with my digital camera and lights on a table.
Thanks,
Stinger
Nice, crisp photo stinger. I always have had problems posting pics on forums (shrinking), but I stumbled on a free site that I upload the pics on then post a link to my page. Probably saves some bandwidth for the forum too. Check mine out for an example
Hi hj,
Thank you for the feedback on the picture of the pontil.
Those pictures look great from the website, thanks for the link.
I just got my new computer and when it up and running, I'll try out some of my photos using the website.

hj is right posting pictures on another site and linking to them here does save bandwidth, however I would encourage everyone to upload their pictures with their posts here on this site. The reason is longevity.
Pictures posted on other sites are not permanent, they may be gone in a week, a year, 5 years, 10 years or more. Members are building a fantastic resource here for future generations of collectors and researchers and I can imagine nothing more frustrating than a researcher in a 20 years time finding a wonderful description of a bottle they are trying to identify but the photograph has long since disappeared from a site totally unrelated to this one.
The best thing to do in my opinion is to keep your pictures to a reasonable size (stinger haut yours was a perfect size!), compose a descriptive title in the subject of the post and upload the picture with your post.
As Eric says for multiple pictures you can always "morph" a few together in a photo editor before uploading, for example if they were different views of the same bottle. Or just upload them in consecutive posts with a different but meaningful subject line each time.
Hi Roger,
Since my picture that I posted was the right size for this forum, I sized the height between 5.45 and 5.88 inches . The length should just adjust automatically when you size the height.

Considering the interests of bandwidth economy, I never really considered the database of knowledge that we are (sometimes without realizing it) creating for future hobbyists and researchers. I know that I have used this forum as a research tool on many occasions, and I feel it is the best place on the net to do so. I will post pics here from now on.
