need some ideas on how to get a nice frost effect on bottles,
i saw a site selling some "instant frost gel" a bit too much $$ and shippping would be too long. does anyone have some cheaper and local alternatives?

I cant help you on the frost effect i'm afraid, but I must say that I love these shots.
Would you mind sharing the lighting setup for these?
I love how clean the bottles are. THe two lights one is definately my favourite but I do like them all.

thanks rokkstar,
the single light was a simluted softbox overhead lighting
2 lights was another simulated softbox acted as a fill-in on the left side to help the shadows.

Try throwing salt at a damp bottle and see what you get :wink:
