Glass Half Full

Lessons learned from trying to be artsy and photograph a bottle of wine and a wine glass (I would have added some cheese, but I thought the Polly-O String Cheese might take away from the ambiance).

Take one:

Eh, not impressed. The wine glass kind of blends into the wall

-----------------------------------------------

Take two:
A little better with the cloth underneath,
and WAY better with wine in the wine glass
(especially because I has a few sips before taking this photo)
-----------------------------------------------

Take three:
MUCH better.
The lighter background makes the red stand out.
I played around with the lighting in our house
so it wouldn't reflect off of the bottle,
but had to leave one on or the picture wouldn't turn out.

In Summary:

• Red wine needs a light background
• Fill the glass
• Drink some of the wine
• Do NOT use body parts as a tripod (tried steadying the camera on my knee, which resulted in a very fuzzy picture)
• Camera remotes are well worth the $20
