Photographing glass and other transparent and translucent materials poses special challenges due to the physics of light. Dr. Rand (Brooks Institute, Santa Barbara, CA) applies his scientific understanding of light in commentary on techniques used in showcased photos by contributing photographers: e.g., of a model showing through carved ice, a composite photo of water splashing, a computer screen grab, and shots from both sides of windows. An overview of the basics of optics is appended. (Annotation ©2009 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
