February 2019 Meeting

Glasses to drink from or see through, fractured glass, beaded glass, an hour glass, molten glass, stained glass, buildings, bottles, jars, vases, tubes, fibers . . . the list goes on. Photographing glass requires careful attention to reflections and blown-out highlights. Lighting, important to all categories of photography, plays an especially important role in minimizing or avoiding distracting reflections, although in some cases an interesting reflection may enhance the photograph. However, for this competition, while your picture may include reflections, glass must be the main subject, not just a means of creating a reflection. For helpful information on equipment and techniques search the web on “photographing glass”.
