Great shot, pops! These Ikea bottles are SOOOO popular. I seem to remember a photographer that did a whole series on these bottles. Thanks for sharing this! Markjay

It's hard to add much to what's been said already :) I really do like the lighting, color, arrangement, etc. The gleams off of the "shoulders" of the bottles is just right to me. And the way you got the diagonals on the surface they're sitting on is a nice touch too.

Thanks, everyone.

Nico, yes this is painting with light as described athttp://www.flickr.com/photos/atl_pops/sets/72157594165650971/

These bottles cost all of $.99 each and there are ten different bottles, three blues, three reds, two greens and orange and a clear. It took me three separate trips to IKEA to get them. They have a serious problem with inventory control. Every time I've gone to IKEA to get something at least one of the itmes I'm after is out of stock.

(They only cost a few bucks each but sure make a million dollar image!) shu

Pops, was this also done with your "painting with light" technique (refer your flickr photoset)? A set of these vases remain VERY high on my wish list...! Nicely done. Regards ~jnconradie

Saw these last week at Ikea and thought of you! These are beautifully lighted! A sure winner, Pops! shu
