Work with glass 2

Very nice work Marie, congrats!

Marie, well done for rising to this challenge. It's beautfiful

Dear Mike,

I had a look and I am honored. Sometimes the simplest questions inspire us.

Marie

Dear Brian,

You also have worked very hard and persevered.

From another "traveller",

I thank you,

Marie

Dear Binnur,

Thank you for your compliment.

Glad you are posting again.

Marie

Marie,

I just now had a reason to look up a detail in the fourth edition of Light: Science and Magic. If you have it, take a look at the two photos of a glass of wine on pages 183 and 185. The second photo was made to improve the display of the wine. However, the change that improved upon that issue also worsened the definition of the rim (a fact that is not mentioned in the book). In the second photo, that definition is not as good as in your photo. Also notice that the definition of the rim in their first photo is no better than the definition in yours.

Dear Kaye,

I have been remiss in thanking you for looking in and for commenting on my glasswork. I never appreciated what exacting work shooting glass, is. I have been enlightened.

So, thank you.

Marie

Hi, Mike!

I think it is especially hard to establish a rim edge in finer glass that is not molded, but rather, is cut.

Marie

Correct. One reason molded rims of thin glass can be easier to define is that the rims often create two parallel lines of light, making the rim more noticeable purely because there are twice as many lines of light.
