Bottle Stoppers by seanoneill

Bottle Stoppers

I have been doing my Intermediate Diploma in Wines and Spirits for the last 3 saturdays at a wine merchants in Warwick.

They have some interesting old artefacts on show around their showroom. These old bottles and stoppers caught my eye. I was tempted to arrange them, but thought I should just shoot what I saw.

Luckily they had a very plain and dark background.

The course has been a real voyage of discovery and rediscovery, I would highly recommend it!!

I am back there next saturday for my exam, so I may take a few more shots then.
Fun class! These are very cool!

I'm glad you didn't rearrange them as they look perfect like this. It sounds a very interesting day and good luck with the exam!

A friend of mine has just passed a similar qualfication with wine. I just drink the stuff.....perhaps too much.
Right Sean, I've just added 37 butterflies (hopefully) to a historical album. They're in there with a label, your task, should you choose to accept it, is to name them all. Will be good to talk Butterflies as the year goes by :)

Isn't it amazing how the eye starts "seeing" in a completely different way from this project. . .very lovely textures here.
