Assignment 27 - Glass - Congrats CLS

[Dr Croubie]

Hah. You know.. scared me for a split second. Totally thought you were someone else.

Yep, me too. Did you take that with a Zeiss 35/1.4 and not a 100L?

Not sure which I want to be my submission, <edit: I think i'll enter number 2, the pyramid>.
The first shot is my first Book Cover (book's coming out next year). It's about a group of drunken poets, hence the wine glass. Took it with a nifty fifty one night and the publishers liked it for the cover (kind of helps when my GF wrote the book), low-DOF and crap-lighting intentional. This is just a shrunken version of the camera-jpg, not sure how they edited it for the book (I gave them a few options of raw-converted tiffs but also the rawfile).

.
But I do also like this one, It's some museum somewhere in france.

.
I'm also tempted to put this one in, one of the first shots with the Single Glass optic for my Lensbaby when I got it, at a place called Crazy Pianos.
Strangely enough, I've seen this sight in a pub before, but without the aid of a lensbaby, just booze.

.
ps, @Jan, I'll definitely second that Hertog Jan is the best, although have you tried the Hob Goblin? Only place I know that definitely has it is the North End english pub in Leiden, I might have seen in somewhere in Den Haag of Scheveningen ook.
