i will not claim any artistic merit to this but i don't want to stress myself anymore than i have to or that will just aggravate my dizziness. i googled how to shoot glassware but almost all tutorials call for those outside flash thingamajiggers. a pair of them. well, i only have one and it's somewhere in the boxes in the backroom. so i used my lightpad as background but the white cloth underneath the glass registered an ugly grey in the photo.
