The Habit
Found this in the shelf. Since I see very little daylight these days, I might as well try indoor photography, where time and composition are in my hands. My only source of light was the tube, which lined the bottles with a distracting glint, so I shaded these with a towel for 30 seconds. A green towel, resulting in a very green picture.

Much fiddling later, this is what I got. I’ve obviously got a lot to learn about subject arrangement and colour manipulation. The hair-like thing you see by the left edge is from my CCD. Time for another cleaning.

    just curious: how much does the kabaadi-waala pay for such bottles these days?
    'kabaadi-waals' - had completely forgotten about their existence these last 5 years!:)

    any gin in there?
    my gift to the housemate would be a rather strong martini.

      No gin, just vodka. He says he prefers whisky, so even the vodka is rare.

        Vodka is just when he has to give me(a small kiddo in the big bad world of booze) company.

    So,
    What do you use for cleaning... Did you get a cleaning kit?

      One heavy duty blower. Works reasonably well for me.
