I found this guy’s tutorial<\/a> on the Internets and thought to myself, “This might work for the jar o corks<\/a>.” So I totally ripped him off. Surely he expects people to straight copy him if he puts all the details on the Internets<\/a>, right?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We added a new cork to the jar last night. It was from my favorite Pinot noir<\/a>: Louis Jadot 2005<\/a>. I’ve had better Pinot, but I paid a lot for it. This wine is only $15-$20 a bottle and I think it’s very good. It’s got an oakey insouciance, with a cherry finish and just a hint of smoke. It’s dry, but with a slight dampiness that conjures peat in the winter before the rains. I’m sure Louis Jadot makes better Pinot, but this is the only one I ever see. We drank it with totally inferior Wal-Mart steaks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I still don’t feel like this is the definitive jar o corks shot. I think I need more corks. I better get to drinking.<\/p>\n

Here’s the short version for those of you not interested enough to follow the link: The jar is sitting on a piece of glass on top of a hollow cardboard box. A flash is inside the box pointing up and another flash is off to camera right firing into an umbrella. I held a piece of foam core on camera left to reflect some light onto the dark side of the jar.<\/p>\n

Of course I had to try a beer bottle shot on this setup, didn’t I? And here’s a setup shot of my ghetto studio. Note one of Abby’s toys in the frame.<\/p>\n

I’d like to acknowledge the many condolences I received upon the death of our fish. Confidential to Jodie: I didn’t flush it. I threw it in my neighbor’s back yard. They moved, but their house is still on the market, so no one’s living there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
