Bourbon Basement Calendar Photo Shoot (1 Viewer)

[Toby]

Shoot pics outside in natural daylight in the shade

Yeah try some pics in natural/sunlight.

Also some artificial/angled light. Like a desk lamp or two!

 

[Sprouty]

Take your poker table outside on a nice day.

Those are well lit, and much better - but you need a backdrop!

I invited her out, said I would only play two days, blah blah blah. My consolation prize is I will get to hang out with my grandson on THUR. and Friday. He is pretty cool.

That's a great consolation prize - the only downside is he can't drink beer with you.....yet!

Lighting is much better. Cloudy is better than bright sun, IMO, but yes, there is the backdrop issue.

That and the splashed pot with CHIPS ON THEIR ROLLING EDGE!!!11!!1!

Well, when there's no way forward with your photos ...

I could even allow me to be persuaded to put some decent booze and serious reading into that pic.

 

[detroitdad]

YOUR BACK!!!!! Hope all is well with you. Great picture!!!

 

[WedgeRock]

Glad to see you back, @Ray-Col... I don't even know you, but when others start asking and you're still MIA for a couple months, it just doesn't feel good.

That pic is ridiculous. Just needs a better bottle of bourbon, lol.

Elijah Craig is my go to bottle. Blanton, Woodford Reserve, ect..... are all pretty solid

I'd rather drink cheap bourbon over cheap beer fwiw.

@mike32 does not approve of your slanderous comments. He prefers the term "frugal macrobrew"...

I know. I was thinking of Mike when I made the post

 

[WedgeRock]

I'll bet you're the uppity type that needs a glass to sip whiskey too.

Outstanding sir. Thoughts on that @mike32 ?

Welcome back sir! Great photo!

Jack Daniel's is not even Bourbon anyway. It is Tennessee Whiskey, and I like it. (I am sure I have drank it straight from the bottle on more than one occasion, but with Jack who hasn't???!!!)

I still wish I had more class than to do that to Keith, but if you can't laugh at yourself....

I don't mind Jack Daniels. I've drank it at your place before. Was that "Dickel" that you had at your place before? For a more affordable bottle I thought that was pretty good.

 

[crussader]

That pic is just amazing. Could easily be my all-time favorite pron. I need to find someone who can do something like that with my chips.

 

[crussader]

Wait a minute. That's a render? Wow. Very effective!

 

[Ray-Col]

Elijah Craig is my go to bottle. Blanton, Woodford Reserve, ect..... are all pretty solid

The mentioned bottles are gorgeous but unfortunately a PITA to model accurately. I picked a simpler brand for a quick update and apart from the minor flaws in my draft geometry, that first render looks pretty decent to me and should fit nicely into the pic above. Any thoughts?

Oh - Big thanks for the samples, the came in safely and that set is killer! Great vibes from theme & execution, top notch!

 

[detroitdad]

that would be fantastic

 

[crussader]

Ok. So the bottle of Jack is a render too. Is there anything in the picture that is an actual photo?

 

[Ray-Col]

that would be fantastic

great - but be somewhat patient, the label on the bottle is only half done yet and the render itself takes just shy of two days. :coffee:

Nope, no photo elements in there. I never do that, it's just additional hassle in the process.
