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: !

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.

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.
