Glass is something that most of us encounter on a daily basis, but rarely do we take the time to appreciate the intricate properties of glass or the role it plays in our lives.
Glass is generally transparent, meaning you can see through it, although it can also be opaque or colored. However, because glass is generally transparent, it works well as windows, allowing light to pass through a solid wall, and it’s also frequently used for bottles and glasses, eyeglasses, and in other applications. Glass is produced by heating raw materials and melting them together, then removing bubbles and cooling while shaping into a desired shape.
Glass has some interesting properties in photography especially, because it can either reflect or be transparent. It captures and manipulates light in a unique manner, and it’s used in such a variety of objects that the possibilities are almost limitless:
