Photographing BLACK

OK!

LISTEN CAREFULLY,,,,,,......... WILL SAY THIS ONLY ONCE,,,

I've got a FULL bottle of Drambuie, it's sitting on the table with a black
background. Every time I take a shot the camera averages the scene out to
be
18% grey  (as it should!!!!  (****!! I NEW that!!!)  ) and the black
background ain't black..........       So ,,...     I've got THREE QUATERS
of a bottle of Drambuie on the table.          I set the camera ( EOS 5D )
to custom white balance, after taking a shot of a white subject....... (as
per Canon instructions )... and setting that as the custom white
balance......and I've still got grey!!!!!!!....      I know!!!,, I can put
a
grey card in the first shot and sort it out in CS3 later but after a
quarter
of a bottle of Drambuie I want to do it "in camera"...... I'm stuborn.. so
there!!!!     **** you............................              I've got
HALF a bottle of Drambuie, a little light is showing through it but the
background is still brasicly blaack..... Rightio I've tried
sevr..severi....several different exposures, over and under, **** knows
why
I tried overexposing,,,,,,,( yeah, yeah, ok I know!)    BUT  it just
allowed
more time to unschrew the cap I reckon,,, I recon, I do, 
(YESHHH..........

(WHY!!!!!!), thew ( ooops missed) (start again) the cork,,(caught up) they
now have a "scrwe",,,,...... NOPE..." screw
cap"...............................               I've got a QUARTER of a
bottle of Drambuie sitting on the table with a blackish sort of
background......  I can't get the ****in' camera to focus......... (f u c
k
i n '  C a n o n) ....... but that doesn't matter!!!!!!!...... the
background's shtill a greyish sort of colour or shhhum sort of that sot of

shhhit!! I juast reeeaed  a   book but thaaat din't hellup..sayyyyd

Deep breaths.   NOPE it's blurry and it's grey........... HOW THE **** DO
