First shot at a beer bottle shot. Got all inspiration and ideas from the little tutorial Lee Morris did. Really liked the shot he got so I wanted to try and do it myself. Any CC is welcome, anything you guys think I should change? Thanks!
I am interested in learning Macro/Closeup photography and understanding that Focus Bracketing is a good part of the process, I thought I would give focus stacking a try.
Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5. NOTE: With this lens the minimum focusing distance is 18" at which point you have 1/4" depth of field.
Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.
Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!
My two favourite images from my recent night time adventure in Tenerife. Foregrounds and skies were shot separately and blended in PS.
Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?

Its just my opinion, but well, from craft beer drinker point of view putting ice makes no sense at all. I doubt that any local craft brewery would like to have ice, unless it matches the name of the beer.
We do not add ice to a craft beer. Never.
At first I feel that the label needs some additional lighting.
I'd also fix the light reflections - especially on left side - it does not cover the whole bottle, there's some collapse in the middle of it (pc related).
The light at the very botton of the bottle should be better too - maybe do two shots and composite it?
But I like the idea and the feeling. And the beer is great!
Thanks for the tips! I'll make note for no ice in the reshoot haha. And i'll maybe try positioning the side lights differently for that rim light. Thanks!
Here is the new shot, no ice. More even lighting on the sides and front. The Ice before was not meant to be showing that you should put ice in the beer if thats what you meant by not adding ice to craft beer.... people use ice to keep beer cold in a cooler too lol. Anyway, new shot I think its improved a bit. I only have 3 speedlites so i used a lumecube on the front of the bottle as well as two v-flats.
Hey.
I'd make sure that the horizont is even - looks like the left side is a little bit higher?
You also have to clear your table out of glicerine I believe, these "water droplets" behind/next to the bottle does look like some dust highlighted by the speedlight :P.
And the label - that's the part i really didnt like about Lee's tutorial - it looks very flat. It begs for some light.
What I;d to to it is this: (around 3:50)

The rim light looks way better. Nice one.
