A very good test with the new backdrop...it does contrast very nice with the objects. The reflections are fine with me BK, but I can understand if you think you need to control it better. A very nice product shot, composed very nice. TFS

good composition and strong especially with the blue, should think it is not an easy colour to use. How did you difuse the lighting, if not, perhaps try bouncing it off the ceiling or wall or placing white or grey card near to the subject.of course you could always clone it out in pp.

Maybe i can give you an input :
if we want to shot the glasses object like bottle, we should use 3 flash in 3 point,
1st lighting on the top of object, and 2 lighting beside the object (right and left)
use white acrylics to get the sotf lighting but the acrylics have to be easy to move and not to close with the flash, so you can control the reflection and lines lighting from the flash on the glasses of object,
and also give the acrylic on top of object so you can control reflection on the top of the object, or if you not use acrylics u can use Styrofoam fo bounce the lighting to get the line and reflection.

have a nice try.

A very nice picture Koh! Great colors and a lovely sharp image.
Fun to see the lights reflecting in the bottles here... Maybe you can use some kind of "bouncer" to stop the reflections though. In fact, if you realy want it perfect, they should not show.
I know that sometimes they use some kind of paper for it...

I love the pleasant colors and the contrasts are great.

Well done!
Cheers,

Hi BK,
What a beautifully backdrop you've got there. Such a brilliant blue that you've captured with your new light set-up. Nice composition, but the background and the way you've captured the textures of the painting is stunning. Cheers, Todd

And it's not bad wine :) I enjoy so muchThe background... The color is a pleasure!
Light bring interested finish to the bottle. So the plant behind... I'm between the fact it bring a touch of classy element style and to say... It's Artificial!! Lol! But it doesn't matter... It's an observation that so much rich place have artificial plant... But nothings like natural... And the wine inside is of a good natural :)

Lovely set-up for this composition, Koh. The subject is to my liking, but you approached the "product" with an original view. Would look nice in a commercial ad. It's a very nice backdrop indeed. Control of the light would be easier if you used light of one or two softboxes and some reflectors, I guess.
Anyway, very well done. TFS

Hi Koh
Very special effect with the blue backdrop. Nice crisp focus, I could read the small writing. Composition and colours are very well done. I've been experimenting a bit myself but with black backgrounds. Reflection are fun to play with and a ongoing learning process. Good job.

I like it for the composition and strong colours.
I didn't pay attention to the reflections as they were not prominent.
Here's a tip: when photographing automobiles indoors, reflections can be very annoying, so some photographers will illuminate the car using polarized lamp, then affix a polarizer to the lens to reduce glare considerably.
In television work, an anti-glare powder is sprinkled on shiny surfaces for the same reason.
Good luck in your studio work.

I think it is more Industrial and Aderstisementry photogrsph.You have perfect lighting with great arrangmentry and beautiful colors and details in this subject.The idea of putting flower & Butterflu is a perfect & Clever idea.

I don't drink too , Because I hate its taste and smel"against everybody around me:)",but anyway: CHEERS.
