Ok, don't know if this is the right room to post this. My first time at Still Life. Those of you who know me know that I'm a newbie with lots of questions. I don't know yet what thrills me the most so I just try every shooting technique. Today I planned to be at a skateboarding/bmexing/hiphopping meeting but it was one of the hottest day my young life can remember so I decided to give still life a go.
Here's what I got.
Edit: I uploaded the shots on Smug, better leave resize to it, my technique is very poor.
PS: I can't get rid of lights reflection in the bottle. Any help? Any tip?

you can make light tent for this kind of work
i loved last 2 reflection looks fine in them i think you did to much cropping in 2nd and 3rd and bottol is leaning you can adjust it in photoshop i think you should build a light tent

Hahahaha well I dunno that I would call you a newbie with over 100 posts already up your sleeve already
Reflection is sometimes a good thing and other times it's annoying or distracting...... a lot of folks use Light Tents to try and diffuse or bounce the light..... you did pretty darn good on this lot, not sure that I like the dust on the bottle though ???
Quite a nice Series, keep up the good work, and please post more

:skippy Everyone has the right to be stupid, but some people just abuse the privilege :dgrin
I Awais,
thanks for your input. I did no cropping, these are straight from the camera, just edited'em a bit with PSP. I know the bottle is leaning, unfortunately my tripod is no perfectly parallel to the floor and I always end up with this problem. I read somewhere on the net that rotating an image by very few degrees can drastically degrade teh image quality. Is this true?

Hi Skippy, that' true, I'm a pain in the a**! Got lots of questions!
Refelction is really somethign I have to work on, I'd like to control them instead of having them fall whatever they like. The dust on the bottleis what pushed me to shoot!
Thanks a million. Will do!

Hi Saurora,
in fact it was in the cellar for a veeeeeeeeery looooooong time! I agree it ads some drama to the picture. Thanks for your comment.

you can fix it in Photoshop without any degrade ! very simple and fast
you have to do this
1. Open photoshop and file
2. Go to Measure tool found in color sampler tool in Tools
3. Now draw line along straigt path that you know is strait in real
4. Image>Rotate canvas> Arbitrary > click ok (dont change values)
5. Crop area of intrest to clear white background you see after arbitrary
I hope you understood it works fine if you have some space in sides of subject which could be cropped
still confused ? just inform me
