Submitter's name:	Iwert Bernakiewicz
Title:	Deep in the glass
Gear used:	OM-4 + zuiko 21mm f2 + uv filter + glass of port filter
Diaphragm:	f11
Shutter speed:	1/125
Film used:	Fuji Superia 200 ASA color negative
Technical information:	Not recorded, but it was a nice summer day at the belgian coast, and I was looking deep in my glass of port wine. I remember trying to do superfocal focussing by using f11, but checking dept of field with in one hand a glass of port in front of the lens, and with the other hand pressing the DOF-preview button appeared to be rather difficult, especially since the glass was almost empty already!
Subject information:	Part of the Belgian coast seen from our balcony through a window of port wine. We had a lovely day at the beach with our three kids. At the end of the day, just before dinner, I was looking deeply in my glass and discovered a whole universe inside! Tried to picture it, and alas, my tope 19 entry!

Upon first glance, this looks a bit like the back of a 60s "space age" car, but upon reading the description it turns out to be something entirely different. Cool! :)

Beatiful! At first I could not understand the image. I thought it was molten glass or something. Great, very creative.

very challenging idea! Like Olaf I first thought it was the backlight of some old timer car :) hmm, belgian coast, three children, 2/21 - let me guess?

Good deductive reasoning :Doro!

Good thing it wasn't some 12 year old single malt, it might have been out of focus and un-usable! What a stroke of brilliance.

Very well done, there is never any wine left in the bottles at my house.

Very, very clever: I bet you had to do it again and again with different levels to bracket composition and lighting ... ;-)

Most unusual. I'd never have guessed what it was.

would that be the sun, the bright spots in the wine? (makes me dizzy trying to figure out the perspective)

Comment left by: the photographer (no e-mail specified)

These bright spots are indeed reflections of the sun. We have a west coast, so the sun was setting already. (hence, the nice red colour!;).

Excellent visualisation, and equally great capturing of the idea. A marvellous shot; I'm envious. Thinking outside the square.

First thought that came up : abstract pornography ! Okay, I had two glasses of red wine myself ;-) Definitely one of my favourites, Iwert.
