Flash of Red No 9 by joysabin

Flash of Red No 9

I broke my wine glass while cleaning it. The stem just snapped off-(fiddle sticks). I didn't toss it but stuck in the snow on top of my patio table and played with remotes, wine and blur.

There may be glue in its future?
Splash of red!!!nice action shot

Ropey pouring...brilliant!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you, I have a different idea for the 14th's splash, hopefully it will work.
February 9th, 2019  
Wonderful dof! Love it.
February 9th, 2019  
Literally splash of red! Great timing

A mistake to clean a wine glass! Just keep topping it up and gradually drain it, but never let it empty! You owe this one a bit of glue after breaking it then making it sit outside in the snow! On second thoughts it might now prefer to sit out in the cold now you have given it a taste of freedom? Why don't you bring it close, take a sip and ask it about its preferences? You could take a selfie while you do it and tag it the 52 week selfie. It would tell us something about you!

lol, treat yourself to a new glass from goodwill, thats what i do !
February 9th, 2019  
Great shot I hope you didn't waste the wine!
February 9th, 2019  
I do substantially agree with David @yrhenwr : Why cleaning if you can keep topping and gradually draining it? Nice photo, though!

@s4sayer I was trying to pour slowly to get lots of shots. I really wanted to capture better clarity on the wine bottle but c'est la vie. Very grateful for the fav, thank you so much.

@jernst1779 Truly appreciate the fav, this lensbaby has a fixed 3.5 aperture. I am loving this Sol45.

@fbailey Thank you so kindly for the fav. I was trying to pour slowly and press the shutter remote, got lucky.

@kali66 Good idea, some days I seem to break lots of things. Only one glass today.

@rjb71 Thank you, I poured it back as noon is just a tad early to indulge. :):)

@yrhenwr I will have to remember that very healthy and satisfying philosophy, now to find the superglue. I don't need my glasses getting any ideas about freedom, the dog would go nuts... If 'they' aren't watching that selfie and conversation might just happen....

@ihallmackenreuther Thank you so very much for the fav.

@domenicododaro The wine is a Cusumano Nero d'Avola Sicilia
I like the simplicity of its flavor, not heavy at all. As for keeping the glass forever full, good idea.
February 9th, 2019  
Good to see it is still providing pleasure even with a broken leg. ha ha.
February 9th, 2019  
Damn, but good to see you didn't waste the wine.
February 10th, 2019  
as long as you didn't spill any precious wine in the act!
February 10th, 2019  
love it ...
February 10th, 2019  
Yum! And great shot!
February 10th, 2019  
@onewing Good one, if the glue works then I'll get more wine.

@golftragic Never! I did still a few drops on the snow but not loosing any sleep over that.

@blueberry1222 Just a drop or two on the snow.

@pdulis Thank you so much.

@kmwilliams It was a good red and worth a 2nd bottle when I get the glass fixed.
February 10th, 2019  
Love it...pour one on :)
February 10th, 2019  
HAHAHA! You guys are my people! Just keep topping it off!

This is a fantastic shot. I love that you used the lensbaby for this and I really like how the pour is actually coming out, I don't know how to explain it exactly, I'm always lost for words, but I like the texture of it and that it's not a smooth pour, kind of twisty looking? FAV!

So many broken wine glasses in my house, I should hide them when my children do dishes,
February 10th, 2019  
Lovely shot
February 10th, 2019  
I love the twisty pour of the wine. Good idea to put the broken glass in the snow.
February 10th, 2019  
I thought you have magically made the stem disappeared from the photo.Snow and red wine, that goes together.
February 10th, 2019  
Nice play. Lovely shot.
February 10th, 2019  
Wonderfully creative :-)

@30pics4jackiesdiamond LOL
February 10th, 2019  
every cloud and all that ... fab image!
February 10th, 2019  
Whew!

Jo
Way to go and not give up - love that you just stuck it in the snow:)
Great image

@jenp Thank you so kindly for the fav. This lensbaby is giving me some very cool results. I have several different ones but the blur that the Sol series gives is more of what I really like. As for glasses of wine, keep topping off as long as I'm home.

@ziggy77 I am rather amazed that this worked. Very grateful for the fav. I think that I was so miffed about breaking the glass that my focus wasn't on composition just getting the wine into the glass.

@henrir With 9 inches of snow which isn't melting as fast I would like, it almost seems like a statement of defiance.

@yaorenliu I liked that glass too, maybe I can find some superglue and use it again.

@haskar You are so kind, thank you a great deal for the fav. It was good wine too.

@overalvandaan Mu husband almost thought that I'd gone over the line when I took the broken glass outside with camera and tripod. We artists are a crazy bunch but it was fun to see his reaction.

@pistache I am loving this Sol45. I have the twist but don't get the consistency of blur that I want. Very appreciative of the fav, thank you.

@golftragic Splashing wine in the snow, I think hot mulled wine in this weather is more appropriate. :):)

@jo38 Thank you, creative wine drinking, a new sport...:):)
February 12th, 2019  
was the glass moving? it's strange that the glass is blurry while the pouring wine in action is rather clear. or maybe it's because of the brandy. :-)
February 12th, 2019  
Not sure how I’ve missed this - this is a great shot love the lensbaby blur too
February 12th, 2019  
@summerfield Lensbaby with a tilt in the lens. I love these lenses, they take me back to my manual SLR days.

@samae Don't worry, I've been out of it recently, a head cold and too much snow. I do love these lenses, they are so much fun.
