Holiday Cheer by Erichocinc

My daughter suggested "Christmas Miracle" for the title for this image. Look closely and you'll see why. An alternative suggestion was "Martha Stewart's Christmas Dinner."

This is actually a composite of two wine glasses. Three candles were used, two out of frame left with a foamcore reflector, and one just out of frame right; you can see its reflection on the glass. The tree is a two-foot tall fibre-optic revolving tree (and keeping it from revolving was a major headache). ISO 100, f2.0, 2 seconds, +2ev, WB set to incandescent (to offset the yellow candle light).


other sizes: small medium original auto

Very nice image, Eric. I love the idea of the broken wine glass, but it took me a while to get it. Helen

It does look like a "Martha Stewart" composition doesn't it?...but, what I really like is the "miracle" part...the broken, but full, wine glass...very neat, Eric. Nice image. MFC
