A couple of them for a taster, will upload some more tomorrow.

Wine glasses with the odd one out, and water drops.

C&C as usual please will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Amin

I prefer the second one but may I add a tiny C&C to it.
I love the different angles but I think that if the middle one was level and the right glass was tilted to the opposite angle so that the outer glasses were angled into each other (does that make sense) then it would frame better.

You have gotten rid of the nasty reflections I see, well done they do look extremely better.

Now this may be my eyes here but all the glasses seem to be tilting to the left slightly...that maybe me though


Excellent work though Amin

What a great idea Paul
Thank you so much for that brilliant idea, of putting the liquid levels differently.

You might be right about the glasses being tilted , I am still perfecting this so might have missed the levelling properly , but I was quite happy at managing to get them to this stage, from here now I will be able to perfect it and with ideas like the ones you just provided I will be able to come up with different versions

thanks again

First things first hey
Get rid of the reflections, perfect the glasses, then work on the tilt.

I really am impressed with these shots, just wish I had the time to be this creative

Nice photos again Amin, liked the others better to be honest.
The drop is simply less then what you've showed us earlier.
With the wine glass it's the same thing, like the first version better.
I like the reflection in the blue water but not in the other ones and also the rim of the yellow glass is different then the rest, it just throw the balance of for me.

This might help a lot with your wine glass photos to control the highlights better link
Now you've something to tomorrow
You can also buy a complete light tent btw, most of these tents can be closed completely leaving an opening to shoot through so you get no reflections at all then

Thanks Stefan,
I have been looking for one of those tents for a while now but never got my head around it to finally order it. I guess its time I need one
Thanks for your constructive comments Its pretty difficult to control the lighting for these glass shots, but am trying to improve,
thanks again

Or Maplins sell two, one at 20 quid the other larger one at rather more and you can see them in store.

Or even better there's this

thanks Martin, had a lot of fun with this one, and although this one is not so colourful but I think I nailed it from the point of view of focus. I am starting to enjoy more now and do not mind so much the mess in the end as I am starting to get slightly better results

Ditto, I like the lack of colour in this one amin, it allows me to focus on the droplet more I think
