Phillip, Phillip, Phillip. You are the bottle master. I've studied this and your other bottle photos, and want to say that I am green with envy.
Comparing these with the digital images you posted recently, I believe the film images have more richness and depth. Here is my technical question: you shot these film images at 1/250, F8, and the digitals at 1/90, F16. Do you attribute any differences in the richness of the film/digi images to these specs? Was the lighting different in the two? I don't want to ignite a film/digi debate, but I am interested in your impression as the photographer who shot these bottles.
Can you also tell me the approximate size of these bottles?
By the way, I am on the hunt for nice, bright, frosty bottles.
Congrats on the EC.

Mary Sue, thank you for the kind words. The main difference for the shooting speeds and apertures is that the film was rated at ISO 100 and the Digital was rated at ISO 320. Since I was basically shooting in the dark using strobes, the shutter speed had no effect, I just set it for the sync speed of the camera. In the case of the digital that was why I chose 1/90th. I had the lights on when using the film camera so I set it to a higher speed so the ambient light wouldn't effect the exposure.
As far as color, I only wish my cheap scanner could pick up the richness of the film. What you see doesn't do justice to the shots. I always prefer to put anything "real" or stuff that I consider something to keep, on film. Digital is fun because of the instant gratification, but doesn't seem real to me still. I think because it is too easy to delete, with film it sticks around forever.
Here is a page that I made showing the set up for the shot if you are interested.

Phillip, thanks for setting up that VERY informative page. I how understand why my bottle efforts are lacking :) I have a LOT to learn. Great job on the photo AND on the teaching!

John, the fabric used as the background is standard black velvet from a fabric store. You buy it by the yard. It is a total black hole when it comes to sucking up the light. Only problem is that you need to keep it very clean, every speck of dust shows up on it if you are not careful.

Congrats. Your whole series of "coloured bottle" photos was great, bold, striking, colourful and imaginative and well lit and technically flawless. The Editors Choice was really well deserved. Congratulations again.

Let me express my gratitude for really SHARING what you do. I learnt a lot from the set up images of the bottles. Very few people actually care to offer this.
