A champagne flute from different points of view


I made this image by placing the champagne glass on a coffee table in front of a window so that I would have the light form behind. I chose a champagne glass because not only I wanted to capture the glass but what you can see through it. Moreover, this champagne glass has white lines that go around it and I thought it would make a nice effect. I took this picture by lying down and putting the camera on the coffee table. Not only I wanted to get the inside of the glass, but also from this perspective it makes it look like a normal glass and not a flute. I liked this image because the glass is the main image in the picture and I like how the background is not in focus, and you can’t really see where the glass is. 




In this picture I placed the glass behind a bronze chandelier, which its arms curve in circles. This reminded me of the movement of the white lined on the champagne glass and I tried to make the two go in opposite ways (the chandeliers arm is stopping/contrasting the lines on the glass). This time I place the glass behind and put it out of focus because I wanted to make the lines on it stand out. I like this picture because I obtained what I was looking for. The glass blends with the background yet its lines enter twain with the chandelier.
 








For this image the glass was placed on the coffee table but this time I focused for the bottom to the top. I also like that the glass slightly reflects on the table and that you can see the top of it better in the reflection that you can see on the table, rather than looking at it directly. But while the reflection fades towards the top the reflection on the bottom is clear and seems that the glass is on top of another glass. Overall I liked this image and thought it was effective because of its reflection on the table. I really like that you can see the lines on the glass for the reflection rater than on the glass itself.
