Taken in a light tent with my current crazy light set up. I adjusted the exposure a tiny bit in Lightroom (shot raw), but I did not want to do too much since it is for an assignment.

I would have liked to light up the background a bit more, but I could not figure out how to do so without getting too many overly bright highlights on the glass. Any advice there would be appreciated.

After I had turned the photos in I realized I could have probably made the bottom of the blue bottle sharper by going a little smaller with f-stop (maybe 2.8, much more and the red bottle would be clear). I was so focused on getting the rim sharp that it distracted me from the big picture, so to speak. I may try reshooting this set up with a black background just for the lighting practice.

Shot with my 50mm f1.8 lens at f1.8 and f22 respectively.

Terry, I like the first image because the objects are less and less in focus. To me I like that affect over the second image where all the bottles are in greater focus

But that is just me, good job!
