Assignment 5: Still Life

Geng Wang

This is a cup of Ram wine with a ice cube in it. I should have use a fake ice cube, so there wouldn't be water steam on the outside surface of the cup. I am using a 105mm nikon manual lenses. Although its harder to stay focused, it gives a much better optics. At f/4.0, it gives a very sharp image. As expected, the light coming from two back sides, light up the cup and the water, the two folded black foams on the sides other cup make sure the thin silver shinny stripe on the edge of the cup.

I tried without the two black foams on the sides, the shinny stripes on the cup will be more distributed, which is not so fancy looking. It meet the caustic requirement, requirement 4.
