Who can resist a nice bottle of bubbly known as Italian spumante, the Bel Paese’s effervescent answer to French champagne. Uncork, pour and enjoy a taste of la dolce vita.
For more examples of macro phoneography — this week’s Monday Phoneography Challenge — visit Sally’s Lens and Pens by Sally, Polly’s Watching The Photo Reels Go Round and Round and Gracie’s Frames and Focus.
And, if you sometime shoot with an i-thingie, join in the fun. There’s a rotating new phoneography challenge each and every Monday, rain or shine.

And now bubbles! Even more than the food, the bubbles hit my favourites button every time 🙂
Meredith — I always have a bottle or two of sparkling in the ice-a-box, mostly Prosecco, but occasionally spumante, too. I’m still scratching my head on how I received this bottle. I’ll drink it and toast the Anonymous Venetian I guess. I’ll bet it goes really well with gorgonzola dolce on fresh, crunchy artisan Italian bread. Coming over? 🙂
Count me in! 🙂
OK.
Fantastic product shots! Once again proving it’s the photographer, not the phone. 🙂
Thanks Beth. The iPhone5 works pretty well as a “real” camera substitute when you don’t want to pack all the gear. Glad you like this series. Btw, this was not an endorsement for Berlucchi spumante. 🙂
Forgot to ask, how did you light these shots? Lighting glass and bottles can be tricky because of reflections. I believe your background is in photography. Any “light” you can shed is appreciated.
Beth — I just used the natural light that came in through the window to the object’s right, and kept moving the camera to rid shadows and over light. Ran all the photos through sepia enhancement and did a bit of sharpening. That’s about it.
Beautiful macro shots . . . Bravo! :o)
Thanks, Arm-in-chair. 🙂
Welcome to the challenge. Really like the subject and the images. Nicely done.
Thanks, Sally. I’m glad to be your newest recruit. Btw, do you drive a Mustang?
Am so jealous. LOVE prosecco. So difficult to get in France:-)
It’s only spumante, not Prosecco, Luffy.
Still lovely! Bubbles!
Me, 2! It doesn’t surprise me that Prosecco might be hard to find in France. The Italian bubbly is giving Champagne fits on the global marketplace, and I’m sure the “fair market” in France might be a bit biased against all wines attempting to “invade” from the Bel Paese. Prosecco is the preferred aperitivo in my neck of the woods. Cin cin!
Slainche!
Sláinte mhaith!
Where would I find the challenge? I take almost all my current photos with my iPad. Love the shots.

Janet — There are three highlighted links at the end of my post where you can get the information for the weekly phoneographic challenge.
Very nicely done. Love the tone you did with these.
Emily — If you’re agreeing, than the sepia touch did the trick. Thanks for the nod.
