Still Life - Black and White

ISO: 1600  f/11.0  SS: 0.4

This was a really easy photo, honestly. I took a large black piece of paper and put two white pieces on the page to block out the black.  I put a glass of water in the middle and positioned them so that I could see the colors switched in the glass.  Originally, I'd wanted a smooth glass so that the colors would just switch, but the textured glass ended up adding something to the abstractness of the photo.
I lit the glass from the left with an Alienbee. It started out really yellow and dim, so I brought up the power up until I was getting the actual black/white colors.

On Lightroom, I made the blacks REALLY black, and the whites REALLY white, but that was about it! This was actually a photo I'm pretty proud of. :) I love it.
