It is an interesting exercise to compare how a series of different styles of wine glasses act as lenses. Every style has a completely different profile, and this style was the most sucessful today. In the end I felt the outcome was a little too imprecise for my liking, and I was reminded of my high school physics classes! (ooohh)
.... but I enjoyed drinking the prop once I was finished!
I love a dry Riesling. I had no idea one could get a clear refraction like this from a wine glass! And the soft colours are so attractive. Mmmm.... I will be looking at my glass of wine with new eyes from now on....
@ltodd I think the difficulty of getting such a shot without the photoshopping you mentioned helps to make this such a beautiful photo. Remind me to talk to you about glycerine. ;)
