Water into Wine




So my business editor walks into the photo office on a Tuesday and says that he needs a photo illustration on the rise of Northeast Georgia wine. Sounds simple enough. Oh yeah, and we need it by noon tomorrow. That sorta cuts down on our ability for creativity. Most simple thing i could think of was wine pouring down from a pile of grapes.

So one bottle of wine, two bunches of grapes, a boatload of photos and 3 glasses of wine later, this is what we get. Did that in my dining room. Thanks to David Hobby I threw a diffused flash under the wine to throw in some fill. Now the liquid sparkled more when i used cranapple juice during a test but the CabSav i was using was too dark to really shine. But it was tasty.

Well actually they thought the Mickey Mouse glass was funny. Its the only wine glass i have that looks like a good wine glass. The other are square and dont look as nice.

Its a three picture composite.
