Hitting the Bottle! Exercise 1.5.1

Couldn't find a bottle for this the other day. Can you believe it? Milk comes in plastic cartons, my perfume comes in an uninspiring opaque metal bottle and I was all out of squash so even plastic was out. Anyway, what I really wanted was glass...nice, reflective glass.


So I raided the next door neighbour's recycling box this morning for a wine bottle The neighbours are fairly used to my eccentricities by now so this didn't raise any eyebrows.


Take three photos of a bottle in different ways. Take no more than 20 minutes to do this. Try to focus on the following qualities in each shot:

  • colour
  • light

  • view point.


You should end up with three shots, each of which emphasises a different quality.

So here goes. I'm more pleased with these because for two of the shots I braved manual focus. It's the first time I've ever twiddled bits by myself, hence the ridiculous 'chuffed to bits' feeling.

I love your garden shot. And a great blog too. I find the forums a bit overwhelming so will be hanging out more on Facebook and the private blogs I think :-)
