Description

(Apologies for deleting my first version of this; I saw a problem after upload.)
I wanted to try some glass photography again, aiming for a dramatic "portrait" feeling for this small (barely 5" tall) green glass vase. I assembled a dark enclosure to eliminate all unwanted reflections and came up with a one lamp, light-from-the-left setup. Then I shot underexposed, exaggerating the overall dark look.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
