yes, i used a similar technique the broken window photo i posted one page back, with a bright blue sky through a darker frame. i like using a technique where the background is brighter than the foreground. it seems to invite the viewer to explore and approach the brighter part of the scene, as it is very inviting. the bright green brush behind the structure in your photo looks approachable like that.
the various angles are quite well done, as well, with a mixture of organic and geometric shapes.

I like the detail you see because of the light hitting the ground in this first pic

to be honest that was the only angle i could get, the camera i was using was very sensitive to movement so i had to prop it up on a post

The wine glass photos are actually pretty easy, it was dark enough that I didn't have to worry about my shutter speed, and the flash was triggered by hand, I could have used a sound trigger but I liked to surprise of doing by hand.
I did go though a fair number of glasses to start with, but once I figured out what I was doing it went pretty well.
The hard part was doing the set up, I probably spent longer setting everything up then I did taking photos.
And, just because I can, I'm going to post another one.

Excellent pictures! This is, hands down, my favorite thread.

That's astonishing!
Did you use the bulb setting and just fire the flash for the exposure - and what mechanism did you use to break the glass?
Inquiring (and inspired!) minds need to know.
I bet! You must have been a good customer at the glassware shop for a while!

thank you! and i love this photo. the cattails in the foreground sort of draw the eye upward, along the undulating tree.

You guys are very talented. You should market your work somehow. Get them turned into portraits or puzzles.

agreed, people on this thread have incredible talent. selling limited edition prints is an excellent way to make money on places like Etsy.
