Image caption, Mark Ashmeade: "Taken in a bar with dozens of glasses - with a 50-year-old Minolta Rokkor PG F1.2 58mm lens on a modern camera. The lens just melts everything else outside the subject glass. Wonderful."

Image caption, Sean Corlett: "When the weather isn't the best, this is a pretty good indoor photography project. I have placed an iPad in a dark cupboard and then put a bulb on top of that. Whatever is displayed on the iPad is reflected in the glass of the bulb. I tried several different pictures on the iPad but this one is my favourite."
