Buzz and Mark for sure. I do like the B&W shots Robert does.

I think one major reason is they show better on an iphone. I definitely get way more likes when I post a decent picture with some context than a row of bottles which I could do all day long.
Oh and 21,000 versus 500 
Just kidding around…I do like some of your shots which I actually think are hard to take.
Mark’s instagram feed is primer for how to do bottle shots.

“Takes” - no way to know.
“Posts” - Buzz.

I’m a complete amateur. If the light seems right and I want to focus on the wine alone, I abuse the Portrait filters (Otto likely hates these). If I want a memory of the location, i try for a nice background to take me back to the day. They’re mostly for me, although I admit to sometimes over-sharing.

#2 is what I mentioned.
I took the bottle shots, bro! Come on! Jorge was busy in the kitchen, complaining about something.
I like your shots, particular the setting.

Ok, B. Buzzini are you interested in giving some tips if I do this?
not everyone can take a nice shot of a bottle with their name on it!
Yeah, we know YOU take incredible photos…but you are a pro, and typically use pro equipment, even for your Zoom sessions!
Haha…thanks for the shout outs! It’s funny to me, cuz i’m such a low tech guy. Up until last year, I used an iPhone 6…just point and click…THAT’S IT! I don’t edit, just upload to flickr and post. ![[wow.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/7/7d450e9830889c8943b674446a21b7254cad657e.gif "wow"){kind=small}
Don’t know what else to say…I guess a nice setting, and a great bottle of wine helps? I just like a pic with all my notes, so maybe a tip would be…take more pics!

Ha! I’m sure half of it is the great cellar and the lighting, but your framing and formatting work really well.

nope, iphone for bottle shots. If I’m shooting a bottle it’s at dinner time so no time for big gear.
Buzz’s shots are great!
