.... just when you thought it was safe to return to the computer ... I'm BAAAAAaaack!

I suppose most of you know what I mean when I describe the times when all inspiration leaves one.
You do shoots and you look at the pictures .... nothing! After a couple of fruitless attempts and
it's all becoming a bit of a chore, you know it is time to stop for a week or so. You have become
stale and tired.

Aaaanyway the time arrived when a new bottle of scotch became due. Well I dunno about you but the
prospect of a new scotch is quite enough to put THIS little engine quite back on the rails. Followers
of my exploits will know that my long term project is the photographic documentation of every brand
of scotch whisky on earth. The challenge is to do each one just that little bit differently and ..
of course as seductively as possible. Cheers!

Whiskey is known as Uisce Beatha or the Water of Life in Irish, a suitable
source of inspiration for tired photographers (although I stick to the grape).
Lovely colours in the golden liquid.

All you need to do is drag out the bottles and start shooting, David! This one is beautifully captured! V~

I'm not a scotch drinker, but you have made this bottle look most appealing! Gorgeous lighting Dave!! ....and, welcome back! BV

It's fortunate that scotch is a rather photogenic liquid, quite agreeable to bending light in a nice way. I know what you mean about it becoming a chore... though I'm determined to get in a full 365 this year and hopefully stumble upon some kind of cure to the PADing blues along the way. (Even if that costs a few (more than a few?) bland or boring shots in the process...)

Oooh, a bottle of fire-water! Nice blue daylight too :)

I know the feeling, being stuck in a rut and we need that break.
This bottle of whisky sure looks seductive...cheers!
