Just trying out a new lightbox that I built last week. Any comments and critiques are welcome.




Thanks for looking,

Ahh... The Captain is good stuff mate.

Hey, you can get some cool shots of bottles like this by lighting the bottle a little more and adding a reflector. The reflector can be as simple as tin foil over thin card stock (no wrinkles please) and set behind the bottle. Cut the card stock to the shape of the bottle too. You don't want to see any of it peeking out on the side or top etc. The foil will reflect the light back through the bottle and give you a good bright transparent color.

Jon.

Jon is giving you a good suggestion.

I was playing around last week with a similar idea and a friend suggested the alum.foil. I also had my wife point a flash light to bring in more light. My example is not all that good, but it will give you an idea of what Jon is talking about. Cheers, Bill P.

Nice shot Bill. I think I will set the box up again later this afternoon to try this suggestion. I'll report back if I get better results.

Travis, try a few shots with the reflector and without to see what you like better.

Gaopa2, nice shot.

Jon.
