BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest SECOND PLACE Winner   Seven Stems
Seven Stems
I've been trying out different lighting and setup arrangements for shooting clear stemware, aiming for a low-key image with the glasses defined by side highlights. Here, a gathering of 7 different glasses; now I think I want to throw a party!
2/15 2nd Place - DD

Now you're cookin' with gas! Great light/setup. Love that, other than the two in front, you can't tell which top goes to which bottom of the glasses.....

  Outstanding work of art, Christopher! I love these transitions from black to gray to white and spectacular interplay of reflections. Favorite.

  Wow! This takes your last set of glasses to the next higher plane...or maybe even higher. If this were hanging on a wall in our house, I would probably stare at it endlessly. I've never seen anything quite like this, with such intriguing light and texture.
