2017-09-28b behind the scene

2017-09-28 it’s all about physics --> behind the scene ( http://365project.org/mona65/365/2017-09-28 )

Some asked how I did the refraction shot). It is very easy, here a brief explanation:
For the upside down glass start with little liquid (just until you have the trick) in a glass. Place a cardboard on top, and turn quickly. The cardboard will hold on the glass. Place it on the counter and pull the cardboard away in one stroke. Physics does the rest. There will be only a few drops of spill. This is needed to have a slight negative pressure in the glass that holds the rest. Important is that the rim of the glass is even and no dust on the counter. So no air can penetrate. Therefore no leakage. Physics --> air pressure and surface tension. If you have a smooth surface, you can move around the glasses, to find your composition and where the refractions shows as you like it best.
To remove the liquid just slide the glass over the edge and collect the water with a bucket. In my case I did all that directly next to the sink, and had no mess at all.
The backdrop is gift wrapping paper, I mounted on the kitchen wall.

My learnings: the refraction shows best (imho), when the camera is even with the object. Negative point, so you do not have a lot of reflection on the surface.
Please give it a try, it is sooo easy. I would love to see your images… please tag me. And please join Granagringa’s @granagringa black & white refraction challenge. http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/30391/b-and-w-19-starts Running until October 7, 2017. Tag: bw-19

Wow great image.

[Kahsia]

Thanks for sharing.

[Corinne]

thanks for showing

[ChristineL]

How interesting, I am definitely going to try this when I get time, I think I might put my waterproofs on though, just in case! Thanks for the details.

[Marij]

i will try this, thank you for your explanation

[JackieR]

V clever, bet it's not that simple!! Fav

[John Sutton]

Very clever and no doubt the reason for many wet kitchens everywhere from now on 🙂

[Kazza]

Good to see how it's done. I've faved it so that I can refer back to it easily.

[Cathie]

Very cool. Thanks for the explanation :-)

[Desi]

Wow thanks Mona. This is really interesting. Will definitely give it a try!

[Richard Brown]

Very cool composition :)

[elkehochban]

Thanks for sharing how this was done!

[Jane Pittenger]

Wow! Amazing. I think I will try it whenthe rains start

[Kathy]

Love how the lines are distorted in the glass.

[Walks @ 7]

So wonderfully helpful, I am looking forward to playing around with this.

[Leslie]

thanks ....so cool , might work in my rainbow challenge if I can find the right paper.

[Rob Z]

Wow - thanks for posting this Mona - I just saw it on your reply to Jackie. The result is stunning and it's so kind of you to post your tips. Thanks again. Cheers Rob
