Wine Bottles in Stark Light

[Karm Redland]

Mile, these two photographs have an x-ray quality -- black background and the lighting on the bottles. I would keep experimenting with these bottles against the black background. I think more can be done with them. In the second photo I like the balance between the white and the purple.

Thanks, Steven! It's easy to find inexpensive clear glass at second-hand stores and the like, but finding clear wine bottles can be a challenge.

Thanks, Karm! I agree that there are an unlimited variety of alternatives. If you have any specific ideas in mind, please don't hesitate to share them.

As every one says, very nice shots and I also prefer the first.

Re closures. Having just come back from a trip to the US, I noticed that the self same bottle of US wine that I can buy at home with a screw cap, retails with a cork closure over there!

Very nice, as always love your photos of glass things.. I prefer #1 but I'm not sure why.
