With my old lens...Should have some new ones with my 24-70 :D

I don't know if I like this one because I didn't take enough time to edit it.

Wow, that's a really colorful shot, and a great way to start off this months project!

What camera/lens/flash combo did you use for this?

Very nice Roger. What are the light sources?

Two torches, both Maglite, First to light the bottle was a 2 C cell torch and the lights around the bottle is a small Maglite 1 AAA cell torch.

The Bottle contents is a very good quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil used on Salads.

The Big Maglite was shone at three levels to get the patterns. in the bottle.

The little maglite light was coloured using the Hue/Saturation in PSP in a separate layer with the Hue/Sat joined to it. Didn't have any green paint or nail varnish to colour the bulb.

Hope that helps.
