Sake bottle

[Neil S.]

This is a shot I came up with while drinking sake one night LOL.

I put the bottle on a flashlight to light it up.

1.

Shot with 7D & 35mm 1.4L.

Quite a bit of post processing done with PS to bring out the color, although the bottle was blue.

Hope you like!

It's a neat effect, but there a few things you could have done that I think would have made it better...

Get rid of the Empire Strikes Back poster in the back ground Even if you couldn't get it off the wall or take the shot from a different angle away from it... you can probably clone that out... that and the little blue spot to the right of the bottle's neck.

And maybe I'm just being nit picky... I know you said you set it on a flashlight, so that's probably just the light bouncing back off the bottom of the bottle but that little white blurb under the bottle... I could do without that too.

I would have framed it differently too... less space on the sides and a little more space on the top and bottom...

Ya those are all good points.

I was just playing around, and was kinda drunk at the time.

I should have definately taken a vertical shot at least, would have been more detail on the bottle.

The bottle was also quite smudged with fingerprints, i noticed that the next day.
