Trying out stuff on the tabletop again using natural light.. I think this turned out OK for a first try. There's another example in the PiP. You'll notice the PiP is much brighter.......but that only increased the reflections in the glass.

Notes to self for next time: figure out a way to control the reflections on the glass, let the air bubbles in the water settle down before taking the photo, make sure the glasses are cleaner!

Gegen die Reflexionen auf dem Glas könntest Du einen Polfilter verwenden. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizer

You're a genius Frank..............I actually have polarising filters and it never occurred to me to use one with my tabletop photography. Thank you so much for the advice!

Thanks Güni..............I'm discovering that tabletop photography is very relaxing. Even when the photos don't turn out as well as I would have liked it's still fun trying.

A superb thought process to even think of this Keith!
The main image works best for me, and a few bubbles do nothing to detract from the quality of the shot,
A terrific and interesting shot!

I can't claim the credit for the idea Roger............there's lots of similar stuff about. I'm really glad you like the results though. Thank you for being so kind.

Reading your notes, you must be a perfectionist Keith! I actually like the water bubbles. Both pictures are excellent in my opinion. I keep going from one to the other and conclude that I like them equally. A good idea and great work!

Have a good new week Keith. Rather cold here today!

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne ^club

I don't think I'm a perfectionist (otherwise I wouldn't have posted them at all), but I do realise that sometimes I am my own worst critic :-)

I'm really pleased you like both shots Rosa..........and thank you for dropping by as always.

Have a good week yourself. Cold and grey here with short periods of sunshine here, but at least it's dry.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

I get that Keith. We definitely are our own worst critics ;-)

How extremely effective Keith. I love the patterns that have been made through the glass, it obviously took you some time to get them to match up from the position you were in.

15 months ago.

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Jenny McIntyre ^club

Thanks Jenny. I'm pleased you like these. It's much easier to do than it looks as the light going through the water bends naturally, but it's the little details you have to work on, which I've already mentioned in my comments.

Its's very absorbing while you're setting it up and taking the photos though.

I really prefer your main photo. The refractive qualities do show up with the choice of background.

I agree Amelia.........the vertical stripes definitely worked better! Thanks for commenting.
