The View from Inside a Bottle

I inserted my Laowa macro probe lens into a bottle, a carafe, and a glass to make the images shown here from (literally) inside glassware. Interesting to have a completely different view of the world. I started with glass abstractions the other day (shown here) photographed more conventionally from above, then it occurred to me that I could use the probe to literally stick it inside. 


The first view (and I will be processing some variations) makes the bottom of the bottle look I think like a glass ceiling.

The outward appearance of the next one is a mandala. For this one, the probe was positioned a little higher, just at the level of the opening to a parfait glass.

Looking down the structure in the next one from deep inside the glass, I see a bubble that could well be our earth, imprisoned and looking out!
