Dry Ice and Wine




I got my hands on some dry ice today. I'll spare the details as to how I got it. Don't worry, it was nothing illegal. So tonight I decided to have some fun with it in my wine. These 3 photos, or rather 2, are the end results of the series. The First photo is entitled, "Nebula". As compared to the second, you'll see that it is a direct downward shot into the glass. With an L.E.D. booklight adding to the surroundings off-shot, and a rear flash to accompany everything else, the end result was a brillant display of refraction and color that reminds me of star fields. The first photo is the keeper as the absense of the background provides the illusion perfectly. I have the second shot, with the background in play, to show that it really is wine and dry ice.

The bottom photo is a lower angle shot done with the same lighting setups, but in a desaturated mode and slight color warming. Designed to capture the vapor out of the glass, I'm happy with the final turnout on that shot.
