    New light table test shoot...
    Greetings,

    Added adjustable paper holders to my new light table and decided to test shoot some bubbles :D

    Couldn't seem to get the label clear and then realized there is writing on the back of it, sigh...

    Windex bottle, slightly shaken.

    The light table, 30" x 30" x 1/4" plate glass and banner paper.

    And literally a snap shot of a glass bowl by Lee Brady, just replaced the bottle with the bowl, no light stand adjustments.

    C & C welcome.

    Cheers, Don

    Yeah, you can go nuts with product photography. I think I gave up after trying the classic "wine bottle" setup, where you need to place all these micro reflectors around it to get that white shape along the edges.

    After pulling most of my hair out (it grew back), I realized this wasn't exactly my niche... :mad2:

    Your pics look pretty good. I'm guessing when Windex does their ad work, they shoot (or use) a label graphic seperately (so the back doesn't show through), then shop into the shot...

    Crazy bubbles. Hey, you want a real challenge? Try shooting something with ice.. :D

    Hmmmm, perhaps floating in an appropriate amber colored liquid? :)
