'Allo Robert' - the Old Bottles


We're back at the brocante shop, 'Allo Robert,' to see a row of old bottles on a windowsill. Through the not too clean window we see a little of Menton's glorious colours.

The smaller photo - taken with flash which I generally don't choose to use - shows more clearly what was once in those bottles.

'A Ricard, anyone?'

  1. Like you, I try to avoid using flash, unless in a fill-in role. Today's photos are a good illustration. The available light photo captures the mood and lighting quite well.

  4. Bottles of Ricard or Pernod and I have shared many a happy moment. I think there's still a bit of Pernod in one of my bottles...hmmm...will go see.

    Love the lighting in the first photo.

  7. Fun to see the old bottles, but then, I like antiques, too! Show us an antique store - I have antique stores posted today on the EAGAN daily photo

  8. I think that each technique serves a purpose though. I enjoyed looking at the labels as well as the more aesthetic top photo.
