| "Beauty at the Bottom: Tequila Sunrise 8" |
Surprise surprise, I'm back at it again. I created more "Beauty at the Bottom" photos over the weekend. The bottles were piling up so it was time to recycle them into photographic works of art. (More about how this series was created can be found in this post)

| Failed attempt at a Sunrise shot. |
One of the ideas I've had with this series was to get an actual sunrise shot though a tequila bottle for the
Tequila Sunrise photos. After a major failure up on Donner Summit in freezing windy conditions with no color during the sunrise, I came up with an alternative idea. I decided to bring up a
sunrise photo I had shot in the past on my computer and use that to light up the bottle. Here's a photo of the set up:

And here is the finished bottle photo paired up with the sunrise photo that were used to light up the bottle:

| "Donner Lake Sunrise 4" |
Also, I have shot through many types of alcohol bottles in the past, but this was the first time I shot through a
gin bottle:
 |
| "Beauty at the Bottom: Gin 1" - This is a photograph of a gin bottle, shot right down inside the mouth of the bottle. |
 |
| "Beauty at the Bottom: Red Wine 7" - This is a photograph of a red wine bottle bottle, shot right down inside the mouth of the bottle. |
More new photos from the "Beauty at the Bottom" series can be found on my web site's
Bottle Photos Page. You can enjoy a slide show there. Images can also be purchased on the site as large fine art prints, gift items, and as stock photography. Cheers!
