[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 778437, member: 46690"] For the "Glass Challenge" this week I decided to try glass refraction, or glass "reversal". Filling a rounded glass with water turns it into a big lens, but with the image reversed since it's only a single lens. I only processed the first one, as it was the one I entered in the challenge. I do like the beer stein shot, but I think the wine glass just has a bit more presence. I was torn about using the head-on picture, or the one with the camera slightly elevated and looking down, as that created a double defraction. The hardest part was positioning the soft boxes behind the glass, only illuminating the backdrop. If the light was in front of, or even with, the glass, it created large catchlights - which you can see at the base of the glass in the second picture. That's one of the reasons I decided not to use it. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]371301._xfImport[/ATTACH] . [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]371295._xfImport[/ATTACH] .
