I drink Jack Daniels - here are 3 litre bottles on sale at duty free in Cape Town International airport, at a mere R808 (South African Rands) a pop. That's about £53. Let the good times roll.
Ho usato come base per il whiskey ed il sigaro un pannello di legno di una cassetta dei vini.Alla sinistra della composizione ho sistemato una luce molto morbida (una lampada a risparmio energetico ad intensità regolabile) alla destra ho piazzato lo speedlite 430 con uno snoot costruito da me (un foglio di cartone pieghettato per confezionare le bottiglie di vino, con alla fine un walky cup (by burger king) a cui ho levato il fondo es inserito un dischetto in metallo traforato (li trovi come componentistica di alcune lampade da muro ikea); lo speedlite era collegato alla macchina con un semplice cavo pc ed è stato posizionato alla destra della composizione, a circa 80/100 cm.La pontenza impostata credo fosse ad 1/4 max 1/2 e lo zoom impostato sui 80/105 mm (non ricordo bene). Infine l'ottica è un Tamron SP AF90mm F/2.8 Di 1:1 Macro

Bottle's and label's design is very stylish. My Jack Daniel's photos
One of the surprising moments on the Jack Daniel Distillery tour in Lynchburg, Tenn. was seeing the thing that killed the famous whiskey founder.
Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel ran away from home when he was seven, some time in the 1850s, and moved in with Reverend Dan Call and helped him with his whiskey business. Call later adopted Jack and eventually sold him his whiskey business.
"Church people started talking about how the minister was working for God on Sunday and then making liquor on Monday. In order to keep the church family happy the Minister sold the business to Jack for $25," said distillery guide Jesse James.
Decades later Daniel came into work early one morning before anyone else had arrived at the distillery. He wanted to complete some paperwork and needed to open the safe. He had trouble remembering the combination, however, and grew so frustrated that he kicked the safe with his left foot.
Tour guides joke that Daniel could have saved himself by dipping his toe in whiskey. Instead, the blow to his big toe gave him a nasty infection and his foot had to be amputated. The gangrene continued to spread throughout his system and he eventually lost his left leg due to poor blood circulation.
Daniel, who never married and had no children, began turning more of the company’s operations over to his favorite nephew Lem Motlow and eventually gave him the business. He died due to complications from the gangrene infection on Oct. 10, 1911 at the age of 61.
The company was sold in 1956 to the Brown-Forman Corp., but the Motlow family is still the majority owner and continues to operate and manage the company.

It's a little test on shinny objects.

One Sunday afternoon and I'm having a go with my studio lights that i got for my birthday back in July. I want to get to know how to use them so the best way is to... use them! Lesson one - a bottle of Jack.
This cake was harder that I thought... The main part of the bottle is marbled mud cake and the neck is modelling paste. The shine is from crystalline & the label I got printed onto an edible image. The shot glass is just a shot glass :) from the second hand shop for 5c
Took me ages to take a pic because finally its overcast here in the West and I live in a dungeon :) so couldnt get good natural light.
