Helpful Posts: I was at a loose end earlier today and it all began with a glass, ... this glass....
Remember when we used to hold glasses up and look through them, as children, to see what the world looked like?
Well, if you don't ....this is what happens...
I just love those curiously weird internal reflections. And not a drop taken..... I swear, not a drop was drunk from the glass.... this time.....

Nice! There's a lot of fun to be had with reflections and refractions.
I don't mind Islay whisky either. (My spell checker wanted me to put an "e" in whisky - yuk.)

Great colours in No.6
Wonder if one could use a lens if it was off the body and backlit? Hmmm.

Re: "Kaleidoscope Imperfect "or "Through the bottom of a glass"
Thank you all. It was a bit of fun. Equipment 1) a dark kitchen and conservatory 2) Strings of fairy lights lit up in the conservatory (I love them ), 3) the glass (of course), and 4) my camera.
I literally did do the kids thing and held the glass in front of the lens and played around with focus until I had the shots I wanted.
Took about 15 minutes,was fun, not too serious and definately impulsive, which is an approach I want to develop more. My wife's face was a picture and she made the mistake of asking what I was doing.......
