Anyone have tips to make a pint glass look ice cold, wet, and tasty? Google didn't really turn up anything other than stock images. I'm sure there is information in food photography textbooks and stuff.

When you pour cold beer in it, the frost will start to melt away pretty quickly so be ready to shoot as soon as you pour it. Oh, and if it's something like Sam Adams (my drink of choice) it will get a bigger head on it then Paris Hilton. --Ducko

airfrogusmc I'm a chimper. There I said it... More info | Or take a piece of foam core and cut a hole in it the size of the glass and also cut a hole in the seamless the same size and pump some light in from underneath. If you get the light set right set right it will give the glass of beer a nice glow. Along with the other sugestions you should have a great looking glass of beer.

I was in a lowly lit bar and currently do not own an external flash so I kind had to make do with what I had so the reflections are overly done but Rought jist was I used a ice chilled glass and waited for the water droplets. Shot in portrait. I know that is not exactly wow but maybe an idea? Everyday, a programmer finds a way of creating an idiotproof program.

I would say a glass which has got water droplets running down the glass would appear to me more. Everyday, a programmer finds a way of creating an idiotproof program.
