Glassware photography

[UncleDoug]

Anyone shoot wine glasses or glassware in general?
We are getting "good" results but are interested in other techniques/results.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I have done quite a bit of searching on the web, but would like some real-life experience if anyone has any.

Pretty general question. Show us some examples of what you're doing & maybe we can come up with some alternatives.

Look into light field and dark field photography if you're doing photos of glass, it's described well in this book (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0240802756/102-9127707-6895351?v=glance). Using these techniques and a bedside lamp I made this (http://www.mrwild.co.nz/Featured/Art/slides/IMG_8819.html). The book also has techniques for dealing with photographing metals, artwork, people, etc. It's not a one-stop-shop lighting book, but it's good for what it does cover, as a read-it-once then use it as a reference type book.
