007 Limited Edition Rum (Still Life)

[FowlersFreeTime]

Fun fact about me: I collect rum. I'm no millionaire, but I've got a couple dozen bottles of varying origins and ages. I recently took delivery of this 007 Limited Edition Blackwell Rum (Jamaican), and I thought to myself, "Maybe I want to try a still life setting to showcase this rum?" I thought, what's typical "Bond" material? All I had was the liquor itself, a James Bond box set of blueray discs, and a toy pistol. I whipped this together with my a6400 and Sony 35mm f1.8 on a tripod with a mini led panel handheld at 45 degrees. Feedback is welcome.

Administrator, if the picture with the toy gun is found to be offensive, I apologize in advance and if you need to delete it, I understand.

Toy guns!!

Toy guns!!

Haha yes indeed. Though now I wish it was a replica of the iconic Walther PPK, but only a real cinema nerd (or gun collector) would care for the difference.

I'm not a cinema nerd but I am one gun short of a good collection. Thanks, I appreciate seeing a fine firearm just like I appreciatre a fine camera or lens, which reminds me, I'm one lens short of what I really need also.

I was just thinking that all this needs is a PPK or PPK-S

Nice work.

That hardwood floor looks wonderful. It must be old but restored well.

What's your poison mate? I'm sure I have something on the bar for everyone!

Its actually a table! I love the look of reclaimed wood; I have this theme running from my dining room to my bar area. I was even thinking of going dumpster diving for pallets to create some photography backdrops at some point this year.

I'm a bit partial to Southern Comfort...

Be careful with pallets. Many are treated with toxic chemicals for pest control.
