I have tvernuccio and my 8yr old daughter, Olivia to thank for these images. tvernuccio, for supplying the quote 'Oh man...i'm gonna HAVE to experiment more!!!!!, ' which made me want to experiment and Olivia for running around the house with a bottle of Sprite! The reflections were going everywhere, so, I asked if I could borrow her bottle, lay down a piece of white paper on my desk and switched on my desk lamp. The results are below.

I'm not sure what category they would fit in, but I never created them for the gallery anyway.

I just want to convey to people that YES, we should experiment more, and it doesn't always mean leaving your house :) If they help to make ONE person run around experimenting, then they have acheived their objective ;]

I shot the bottle against the white paper. The desk lamp was overhead. Four Hue adjustment layers were used in Photoshop for colour change. I like the 'adjustment layer' feature because you're not changing the actual image itself.

This time I stood the bottle upright on the white paper again lamp over head but slightly to the rear. No post work on this other than crop and presentation.

The final one saw me laying the bottle down and moving the lamp low and close to the neck. Once more only crop and presentation postwork.

Experimenting is advancement!

Amazing work! Reminds me of some of fractal images. I love the richness of the tones! Dee-Marie
