February Challenge: Day 3 – Shot Glass Mirror
By Brian Auer • February 5th, 2008
WEEK 1 = CLEAR
So week 1 is over, and it was way too short. I was kind of having fun shooting clear stuff. At the end of each week, I’ll post the final photo along with the thumbnails from the previous days. And I’ll also remind you all to participate in the February Challenge if you aren’t already doing so.
This was a CLEAR shot glass partially full of CLEAR liquid posed on top of a mirror and lit with an off-camera slave flash. Funny thing about this photo — it was the first shot out of about 50. I guess I’m just that good. I could’ve saved myself about half an hour of messing around with flash angles and diffusers. Oh well, it’s good practice.
OK, so I kind of cheated on this one too. I actually took the photo on day 4 rather than day 3. Shame on me. But I came up with the idea on the 3rd… does that count for anything?

I love this one the most of the series symmetry works fine for me here
I’m liking this clear set. It was a good idea.
I took my 3rd photo on day 4 too… but my idea was FAR less creative! The first “week” was indeed too short. It’s already week 2 and I have yet to shoot any photos for it!
“Challenge” is indeed the right word for this!
The shot glass picture looks pretty darn sweet
