Black glass bottle id needed

<< < (3/3)

Tabatha:
I put the bottle on last night, with the help they give me on that site. They advised me to put a start price of £99.00, which I did - and just checked my listing and Ive got a bid! I am shocked  :shock: !

Tabatha:
Hi

Does anyone know the best way of photographing my black glass bottle. I have tried just about everywhere, but its so reflective they are all turning out horrid.

I was trying to take piccys of the bottle from each angle out in the daylight, this is the best I can do:  :cry: Do you think they will be ok like this?

Also, are these big air bubbles?

Thanks, Sarah  :cry:

Hi Sarah, do you have an area where you are out in the daylight but not directly in the sun, somewhere like a verandah or under the shade of a tree. I find I get my best pics, taking them on our  verandah in the mornings, where the sun does not directly shine onto the item and no flash.
I have been told, but have never used this method, to rub vaseline on reflective items you want to photograph.

Frank:
Vaseline can be hard to control, there are special matting sprays you can buy or what is often used is paste-up spray from graphics suppliers. The latter is a very gentle adhesive so tends to pick up any dust in the air, wipes off easily and does not harm paper. A circular polarising filter also works well.
