Glass 

My first idea for this image was to take a picture of a glass building, and include the surroundings in the reflection. However, I happened to capture a shot by mistake. I was bored one day waiting to go out and took a picture on my iPhone through a glass beer bottle, and the result of it inspired me to try it with my camera. I had my camera with me so decided to experiment.

 I really loved the way this image turned out. Because I took the photograph nearer the top of the bottle, the roundness of the neck makes the image distort a little, which makes the image more unusual. As well as this, the bottle was brown in colour, which gives kind of a sepia tone to the whole image, which you wouldn't get if it was taken through a clear bottle. I also like how the shape of the bottle can be made out, however because it is not completely in focus, it makes it less obvious.

I took a few pictures and this was another that I liked. Unlike the first image, you can't tell that this has been taken through an object, as there is no shape around it. I like that about this image, as it isn't obvious that the image is supposed to relate to the word glass. 
On both images I really love how they are distorted and out of focus. They both sort of remind me of The Wizard Of Oz!
