Whisky Light Paint Attempt

[ACW]

First time trying this and I'd like some feedback on now to improve next time please!

I think this due to the glass / wood mix was probably going to be a difficult one anyway.

I love still life light painting and this is a good example, an improvement to try and get would have been to try and shine more light into the bottle to make it glow a bit more

Also when I've done it in the past I think it's nice to have a glass of the drink also on display

As an example THIS is a recent thread where I've done a still life with alcohol I had the light behind the glass to really make it glow

Thanks, I'll give it a try, I was just ending up making horrible light spots on the bottle!

Ahh I'd like too but this one only warrants being kept to resell one day or a very special occasion!

Very nice Matt, I can honestly say your working continues to inspire me!

That is the danger but with a little practice it should be possible to avoid most of them

Well there is nothing stopping it being some of the normal/cheap stuff in the glass I had a tutor at collage who's previous job was working as a marketing executive, one of his clients was Martini and he told me that the only way they could get a decent looking photo of Martini Rosso was to use Ribena

If we were playing the consume what you photograph game then I'd be taking a lot of pictures of food from the local chinese and desperados beer I'm hungry just thinking about it. Looks like dinner tomorrow is sorted!

Pretty much standard practice for any of the red wine stuff - you can make it as dark (i.e. control the translucence) as you need, and the photo-assistant doesn't end up getting pished...

My usual stand-in for Whisky/Brandy was Apple-juice... just make sure you don't buy the organic cloudy stuff that looks like a sample from a sick horse
