I am renovating a house and we plan to decorate the master bath with old bottles. I thought it would be interesting to have pictures of the bottles as decoration also. The spilled shot is an idea I have been toying with for several months. Finally did something about it. All in all, I was pleased with my results.

These look great Tom.

What's your spillage made from?

Dish soap.

Very clever. How'd you set up the "shelf" ?

the first one is awesome - the spill was creative but it just isn't as appealing to me - but high quality photography all around!

Two umbrella's shot through a couple of large home-made diffusers. The base is simply white poster board bent around a wooden shelf. The backdrop is piece of white cotton material. I also used a smaller flash behind the shelf pointing up to illuminate the backdrop. The green goo is dish soap.
Thanks for the compliments.

Nice. #1 is great. #2 is mildly disturbing, but I think I'm just scarred from too many B-grade sci-fi flicks ;-)

I never really considered the color might look like some toxic waste. But now that you mention it, I have been glowing in the dark the last few days.

BTW Tom...

Are these being hung in a full bath or powder room?

I'm asking because I'm curious where/how you'll have these printed and framed to combat the humidity in a full bath with a tub and / or a shower?

Full bath and to be honest, I hadn't thought about the humidity. Darn, now I have something else to figure out. Anyone got any ideas.
