Taking "Professional" Pix

[whiskeyman]

A friend sent me this link to an eBay forum. One poster shows his picture-taking set-up and examples of items photographed. Thought it may be of use to interested Peeps. He also posts a link to another website with pic-taking tips.

I truly enjoyed your personal Bristol website. What a lot of work, and it shows.
Thanks!

BILL...thank you. It is a "work in progess".It was a learning experience for sure, but once I got into it, it wasn't so difficult.
I have lots of tweaking to do yet and, am always looking for additional info or pix to add. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again for the complimentary words.

Great pics. However when taking pics of glass you need a bit more light from above and behind the bottles then from the front. to get good clear embossing. But I have used a similar set up to take the following pictures. I still have to buy a couple more lights to get things as bright as i want them.

Great photos, Chris! I end up taking the majority of my pictures on my deck, which isn't so great when you want to take a photo on a rainy day!

ahhh rainy days are the best days to shoot, the light is very even and not harsh at all, if you have a dry place to shoot but still full light. Overcast days are my favorite for photographing anything, works great with bottles too.
