I've been seeing lots of photographs of wine glasses filled with colored liquid and a bit of a reflection so I thought I would give it a try, except....
Empty glasses upside down on a mirror to catch the entire reflection...and in black and white. It was shot at dark o'clock to minimize ambient light
Triple exposure: Daylight temp, Magenta and Blue.
I wanted to raise the Magenta and lower the Blue as a Graduated filter look. It was okay, nothing great.
A few hours I came back to the table to put my props away and discovered the Sun shining through the sliding glass door caught a corner of the mirror and cast the light across the scene. I quickly grabbed white cardstock for a backdrop and snapped a more interesting photo. Within 2 minutes the Sun moved and the scene was gone.
Funny how that happens isn't is? That 2nd shot did turn out pretty cool. Good capture Dean!
Both are really neat, but the 2nd one is my favorite. The first looks like an advertisement. If you put a liquor bottle somewhere in the photo it would definitely look commercial. The 2nd photo tells the story early morning at a bar waiting to open later in the day. Great shots!
