I was able to do some of my photography class homework yesterday. Our homework was to use the tripod for a long exposure shot and work with aperture and not to have any shake. I experimented with several combinations of settings, but found I really liked a small aperture (F22) as it gave a “star” like effect on the little LED lights I placed around the subject of my shot. I used an ISO of 200 and a shutter speed of 10 seconds.
So these photos combine a couple of my favourite things. The Highland Park Whisky is made in the Orkney Islands. I really like the 18 year old Highland Park, but my bottle of that is nearly empty, so I had this 12 year old bottle that was full. Which makes for a better photo I think. The tartan wrapping the bottle is the Orkney Tartan. I ended up using all the bottles that I currently have for the Trio picture, but the goal here was to take photo’s not so much to show perfect product pictures.
I am really please with the single bottle pictures.
