Default A tall cold one.....

I needed an excuse to play with some lighting so I thought I'd try my hand at some product shot stuff.

I decided to shoot a simple classic beer add.....lucky me, I always have some handy!

This is what I came up with..

It was lit on two sides at a slight angle to the camera, placed on a mirror so the reflections are natural (although I had to edit out the edge of the mirror frame)

I'm not sure if the condensation in the text works or is just distracting and even though I think thew bottle looks pretty good I think the glass looks a little flat. Any tips for what I could have done better?

Great job. I think the glass of ale needs more light from behind and on top - to see the amber and the head. Very nice all the same. And the text works for me.

thanks...

Yeah...I'm think it a tight snoot above and behind the glass would have fixed that...
