Description

I got the idea for this image from Jeffery Levy. He has many unique images in his gallery.
I broke four wine glasses trying to do this.
1/50s at f/4.5, ISO 400

Exif: F Number: 4.5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/50 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, FocalLength: 30.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D

When I clicked on this thumbnail to make a comment, I somehow already knew it was one of your images, Irene. Superb as always. I seem to recognize this glass and it's "contents" from another image, right? #1035269
