You can "refresh" the head on a beer by taking an empty glass and "tapping" down on top of the full glass one time with light to moderate force. Try it...start very gently and work your way up until you get the foam to come up. I do it all the time...just be careful not to break the glass...you want the two glasses to meet along an "arc" of the lip...not just at one point.Thanks for the critique! Heres a photo of my setup. Work lights with natural light bulbs from 2 sides and top through a bankers box with tracing paper "windows" in the sides and top. Black foam board lines the back.
I see you caught the closed in feel. I got that too. I think the problem stems from the bankers box being too small and the largest tracing paper I could find was 11 x14. I need a bigger setup so that I can get more light behind the beer to create a thin line of light down each side. I also need to work on the beer head. That beer had been sitting a while during setup and I stirred to get as much head as I could. Plus I've been keeping my CO2 PSI low because I have a stout in my 2nd keg. I'm going to make a bigger light box. Next time I'll have everything ready before I tap the beer. I read that the pros put glycerin on their glasses to retain the wet look. I did that, but I think I put too much glycerin on it. I'll report in with my teacher's thoughts.
Wow, Weegee was right: "f/8 and be there." I bet those lighting conditions lasted less than five minutes.
A combination of fog and setting sun light hitting the building's windows at the right angle creates a blazing effect:
That's an incredible pic. Talk about timing. Was it by chance or was it planned?

Just curious if anyone here cleans their own DSLR sensors ?
I've done it using sensor swabs. It takes a few tries to get all the dust out, so I ended up using about 3 swabs each time.Just curious if anyone here cleans their own DSLR sensors ?
I use wet sensor swabs. Get them from e-bay.Just curious if anyone here cleans their own DSLR sensors ?

Not sure what kind of bird it is.
