January 6 2004:
Sweet and Golden

Its been a few weeks now since England beat Australia to win the Rugby World Cup but you can still buy the celebratory beer! "Sweet Chariot" is our team's 'anthem' and is yet another brand of beer conjured up over here. There are hundreds of brands, many with quite peculiar and comical names. My new Guinness World Records book states that a German has a collection of 8,131 differently branded bottles. You may think that is quite sad, especially when they are all FULL!

I've only recently started liking beer, and this picture makes me want some! Good advertising shot!

Better to look at than to drink! (don't like beer, not even the watery American stuff; give me whiskey!). Good shot, Ray. The color is lovely.

Great capture, love the golden color. I think I need to go downstairs and get me a cold one!

Another great idea, artfully executed.

Nice photo Ray - I agree with you about those 8,000 bottles - I'd have made sure they were EMPTY!

Fine back-lit subject.

The bottle is still full. I'll do a swap for your lamps :-)

This is awesome! I love the detail! You can see the little bubbles in there!! Did you put this in your belly after you took the shot? If not, can I have it??

Great image, Ray! Love the perspective and crop - and the lighting is perfect. I like the fact that you can only make out part of the neck label, and the "head" at the top of the bottle! *grin*

Congrats on your victory. A few of my colleagues in our Knights Bridge office was ecstatic when they won! Nice lighting!
