Before and after in two ways; Mick Fleetwood from Fleetwood Mac becoming a vintner and grapes into wine. They're just regular seedless red grapes. The bottle and album are personally autographed for me by Mick Fleetwood at Costco when he was promoting his wine. Used my new reflector to help with the harsh sun. I tried this in the morning before the sun was on my balcony and did this at lunch when the sun was already a bit behind this. I would have liked some puffy clouds, but yesterday was overcast and today not a cloud in the sky. There was a Santa Ana wind today blowing pretty good, so I clamped down 3 edges of the 1/8" white board and too care it didn't blow away smashing all my props. Yes, I know it's got some crooked lines. I think that's because I wasn't exactly in front of it. And obviously the glass is from a different bottle since the seal isn't broken. They say this variety and vintage (2002) is really excellent wine. The album is Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk", the song the USC Trojan marching band plays.

I like this setup, and especially like how you included the record. :) I think the lighting could have been a little bit better, and I might have brought the angle up a little instead of having it so dead-on. I think its a good idea and setup, to be perfected with some minor tweaking.
