Thank you so much, everyone! This is another bit of glass from my favorite glassblower, Michael Schunke; he does really beautiful work! #4245680Autum Rhoades May 04, 2007
Christopher, he does fantastic work - but you photograph it in a fantastic way too! You could help promote his business! Awesome job! #4245979Chris Budny May 04, 2007
Thanks, Autum!Ken Smith May 04, 2007
Beautiful composition, Christopher. Very vivid and perfect colors! #4248920Chris Budny May 05, 2007
Thank you, Ken! It just dawned on me that I could have put this in the Theme, instead; the gold flecks in the twisted glass ball are actually the result of gold leaf being applied to the hot glass. Oh well! #4249542Katarina Mansson May 06, 2007
Lovely colors, lighting, composition and DOF! (I guess these glasses go well with your shaker selection and look forward to trying them all in the next C&C thread :-) #4252195Chris Budny May 06, 2007
Thanks, Katarina! Yes, I am set to host the C&C Happy Hour, any time the group wants to visit! 21 shakers, and at least that many martini glasses! (Though just 2 of the glasses are hand-made beauties, as shown here.) #4254822Tom Andersen May 07, 2007
The colors in this image are fabulous, Christopher! Wonderful work! #4257023Chris Budny May 08, 2007
Thank you so much, Tom! I was surprised how the background turned out---it was actually black (the back wall of a china cabinet) but the ambient light in the room, and the wall of daylight from patio doors behind me, at the long exposure, rendered this very mellow color instead. #4259880Colleen Farrell June 26, 2007
Considering all the cocktails we imbibed in the C&C thread, this image is particularly apropos! Big congratulations on a beautiful macro, Christopher! #4441446Les Rhoades June 26, 2007
