 What are they? Empty bottles of "5 Hour Energy" drink


Once I dispatched the energizing elixir and peeled off the label, they were just too shiny and white to throw away. I will find some use for them. ...or did I just do that? Hmmmm...

Again - heavy processing is required to avoid inducing narcoleptic episodes in the viewers. Just some color shifting and levels, curves, NI, USM and then top it all off with one of
Melethia's overlays.

Some outtakes:

Awesome again!!! I'm so inspired by how artistic and cool you have made simple containers look.

And I feel hyper even looking at all that empty-bottled energy :)

Wait, you save the mintz cans, and now you're saving these. This is a cool and very creative photo.

Slow down, buddy. Get some sleep! Great lighting and processing. Thanks for the link to melethia's overlays! I'll be using some of those soon in a picture near you.

Very nice! I love the red tones and the hotspot on the background. Great use of the overlay to add texture too.

This is like Ancient Apothecary meets Andy Warhol.

Looking at this series I am once again astounded by your talent, imagination and abilities.

Truly impressive.

Where can I get some of what you're on. I could do with about 40 of these right now, trying to catch up on comments. Love the overall effect. melethia's overlay really sets the whole thing off.

I've got this weird optical illusion thing going on. I see the bottom row go tall to short bottles from left to right, then the middle row goes opposite, then top row opposite again.

I soooo badly want to knock them over : )

Wonderful color and the overlay really adds a little extra pizazz to the shot.

With all of those 5 hour energy drinks consumed, it's no wonder that you have the energy to think up all of these wonderful ideas!!!

Nice setup here. Goes to show how you can make something, in this case, art, from nothing. Well executed.

Oh... We don't have that stuff here - I'd only need 4 a day to get me through - GRIN!
