well, nice... product photography eh... here are my 2 cents... the light is too strong on the base of the bottle, the light is reflected at the front of the bottle also (there's that square thing under the label), the logo is not that well lit - and if you're really gonna do this for a client, they want their logo to be the best! and you have, i think 2 lights cos i see 2 shadows cast... one is hard light and one is soft light hmm, i think you used 3 lights... anyway, still too many shadows on the base.

well, there's my 2 cents... i like the colors though since it's mineral water, i would shoot it on a white background... kasi para nang orange juice there...

by the way, if you really wanna be challenged, try shooting a watch for product photography... small but terrible!

Now this is the type of observation i'm looking for.
Very keen Ritz much like your cousin.

You almost said this image is a trash, but yeah thats my goal
for this little spot the problem game. the image imho is cute
but it wont even pass basic prod photography.

Yeah the watch is painstaking, you need a dome for that.

it's more challenging to do without the dome though

reflective surfaces are always a hair pulling task to solve.

I find commercial photography boring, but makes a lot of money
quick and easy when you got the right connections. Another challenge
is taking a shot at vehicles. Now thats something i'd like to try
shooting.

hey, i just dropped by!

spot the imperfections..? hmmm.. The shadow is one, but it's already mentioned. And the other one is... the glass itself reflected something.. i can't really figure out what it reflected.. or, it's really part of the bottle or the whole concept? I don't know, maybe i'm just seeing things! hahahah!

Anyways... you have a very, very interesting gallery...

yeah for the lack of rim lights unfortunately the black strip your seeing on the shadow
is a card board. I'll post a perfect shot when i have a chance.

There are still others i hope you can find them

cheers!

Well, lets try it: (I'm not good at this thing but WTH)

1. There is a double shadow at the bottom of the glass
2. Some sort of diffused light needed to emphasize the whole logo at the body of the bottle
3. My head needs to tilt to view the image
4. I'm no photographer to critic this one.

Anyways just for the fun of the premise. Nice Shot Bro!

quite fine observation there. There more than 5 points that would have been
pointed our here. you got 2.

1. the double shadow would have been prevented by correcting the lighting position. The shadow is too thick, may suffice but not the 2nd shadow gradient, the reason being is that the light illuminating the subject bounced, thus the 2nd shadow... more details here but i'll leave you to find it out why it is so.
2. In my opinion the face of the subject is quite well aroung 90%, to improve it you need to bounch the light with a wider reflector. More details as to why, but i'll leave it at that.
3. I purposely made the image sideways, do you know why?
4. You just did.

You said you have a D70, the unit is almost history and you still dont maximize it. Make some shots of your own! duffus ...

Ciao and thanks!

Tryin to find out if the camera works the same way as wines should.

What is necessary doesn't summize the objective.

kool..
i like the way u took it... diagonal instead of vertical + the lighting + the background = everything

ummm, but i wanna ask u something...
what's rim light??

and i have a suggestion...if the bottle was so cold with waterdrops on it... it would look more cooool and refreshing

PsyloAutisticity In reply to Moon-Whispers [2005-09-04 14:56:45 +0000 UTC]

wow thanks for liking it mon cher
A rim light is a glow of light just exactly at the edge
of the subject to define the sides or illuminate
soft/hard gradients on the rim of your subject.

I didnt thought about putting waterdrops, thats a great
suggestion I'll do that next time, make it more active looking ey.
