Decisions, Decisions
O Whisky! soul o' plays and pranks!
Accept a bardie's gratfu' thanks!
When wanting thee, what tuneless cranks
Are my poor verses!
– Robert Burns, “Scotch Drink”
Tonight is Burns’ Night, and while I couldn’t manage to get my hands on any haggis this year, I did crack open a bottle of Scotch whisky for a little toast. This is a wee dram of the Inchgower 18, purchased in Scotland on my summer vacation. That’s some, but not all, of the whisky inventory in the house in the background.
Nikon D7000 w/Nikkor 18-300 @ 34mm, 1/250s @ ƒ/16, ISO100. There are 3 separate SB-700s lighting the scene, one from behind the bottles, one gridded then shot through a white umbrella front left for the glass, and the third shot through a white umbrella to the right to fill the labels. Actually had to take 3 separate shots and stitch them together to get backlight on all the bottles. Color finishing in Aperture.
