I had a lot of fun with this project. In every instance, I began with the bottle. What type of bottle would it be? I have a lot of different types, so that part was fun. Then I made up a scene around the bottle. By the way, that's iced tea in the bottle and in the jigger. I heard years ago that movies used it in their shot glasses. I also shot several scenes with a champagne bottle, but I was not pleased with the results.
Here are the elements for the next Iron Photographer:
1 - eyeglasses / sunglasses
2 - a bottle
3 - noise / grain
The first element, eyeglasses or sunglasses is pretty self-explanatory. We're willing to stretch it to include things like welding goggles or a diving mask. Ain't nobody gonna say IP is finicky.
The second element is also pretty straightforwars. A bottle is a bottle, a container with a narrow neck designed to hold a liquid. We don't care if it's empty or full (or half-empty or half-full depending on your world view).
The final element is noise or film grain. The easiest way to achieve noise or grain is to crank the ISO up as far as it'll go. You can, of course, add noise in post processing.
