I had a lot of fun with this project. In every instance, I began with the bottle. What type of bottle would it be? I have a lot of different types, so that part was fun. Then I made up a scene around the bottle. Many of you may not recognize these types of glasses...they are designed for people who wear glasses but want to put on eye makeup. Without your glasses, you poke yourself in the eye. With these, you can flop down one lens, make up that eye, and then repeat the procedure with the other eye. I think these were in my mother's stuff, because i don't wear eye makeup.
Here are the elements for the next Iron Photographer:
1 - eyeglasses / sunglasses
2 - a bottle
3 - noise / grain
The first element, eyeglasses or sunglasses is pretty self-explanatory. We're willing to stretch it to include things like welding goggles or a diving mask. Ain't nobody gonna say IP is finicky.
The second element is also pretty straightforwars. A bottle is a bottle, a container with a narrow neck designed to hold a liquid. We don't care if it's empty or full (or half-empty or half-full depending on your world view).
The final element is noise or film grain. The easiest way to achieve noise or grain is to crank the ISO up as far as it'll go. You can, of course, add noise in post processing.
