Available from Factory 20. A long, long time ago, someone had a fire. A big one. Their loss is our gain. Go us.

Unusual point of view tuesday
Austrian crystal wine decanter dispencer. The dispencer is shaped in the form of a water drop. It is placed in a wrought iron spiral.
The shot is taken downwards with the lens through the top opening of the decanter.
At the bottem the droplet shaped dispencer ends in a tip with a small silver rod in it. The rod is connected to a spring, holding the rod in place. To pour wine; hold a glass under the dispencer and push the rod upwards with the bottem of the glass. Lower the glass and the rod slides back in place, closing the dispencer.
The wrought iron holder is decorated with grape leaves and bunches of grapes.
The crystal decanter is etched with bunches of grapes and sprials.
For the shot there is a high stem crystal glass placed under the decanter to soften the black colour of the iron base and to add more round shapes.
Ordinary Decanter by Sony200boy .....
Ordinary Object. "D" is for Decanter. This is the fourth image in the flickrfriend challenge we call Odd Wednesday, where we will work our selves through the alphabet photographing an object for each letter that we normally would not think of photographing if it weren't for the challenge.
I thought a decanter may not be regarded as 'common' - hence the Dictionary shot. Experimenting again here by placing the decanter on white card and trying different angles and settings. Chose this final shot, taken outside in the sun, with the reflection showing on the white sheet.

My daughter gave me this decanter to keep my port in. Usually, I buy standard 75cl bottles but this time I got a one-litre bottle. As you see, the decanter holds exactly one litre - but with no room for the glass stopper. So I had to drink some 😜
This photograph, which comes to you by courtesy of the letter D, is my fourth picture for the February Alphabet Fun: 2020 group.

My employers gave me a crystal decanter and glasses for 5 years service. It seemed like a good place to put the Laphroaig and take the glasses for test drive
To me, the words Film Noir, makes me think of the 30s, Prohibition, gambling and murder...
Seeing as murder was not an option, I know very little about gambling, I decided to get out the decanter again.
I hope you like. HMM.
I had no clear shot in mind last night so set myself a lighting challenge - try to achieve dark field lighting using only a single light source and nothing else. Not exactly spectacular (it was nearly 11pm) but a learning experience.
Reshoot now I have a softbox for more realistic highlights. Light field lit as suggested by Light, Science & Magic.
Lighting:
setup for this shot
SB800 @ 1/16 (24mm zoom) under table onto white foamcore sheet background, black felt covered foamcore sheets either side of background to define edges of glass.
SB800 @ 1/32 (105mm) with DIY straw grid spot onto corkscrew from camera right almost level with corkscrew. Metered at f11 on nearest part of corkscrew.
SB800 @ 1/4 (24mm) in 24"x24" brolly softbox with black gaffer tape cross to fake window. Camera right front metered at f8 for faint highlights on glass.
Triggered by poverty wizards.
