Glass Pinwheel

[Loose Canon]

As it turns out shooting glass highball vessels is thirsty work!

I’ll be glad when the shoot is over so I can get them off the set and put them back to work!

This one is great Terry and I really like the high key (white) background. I hope that you are sharing these images with the artist(s) as you are making their creations look fabulous with your photography

[Mike Buckley]

This is really terrific, Terry. I gather that the photo is for your own pleasure rather than for the glass blowers. I remember that they didn't want the photos to include a reflection.

What is the tabletop material?

[Loose Canon]

Thank you guys.

The Glass Makers are seeing these Shane. I really don’t know what they think of them.

You’re right Mike. I’m doing these for my own enjoyment and to keep me from being too much of a menace to society!

I decided to work a little bit with the Translum material. First time I have done so. I gotta say I’m really liking it. You can light at it or through it, seems really versatile. In this shot I fired my background lights at it. In the shot here I lit through it on an opaque plexi tabletop.

The table top in this one is frosted plexi.

Coincidentally, just two days ago I moved my roll of Translum to my makeshift studio with plans to use it for the first time. Thanks for sharing your experience with it. Very helpful!

[Loose Canon]

Sure Mike, anytime.

Let us know how you get along with it. I'd be interested in hearing.

[Brownbear]

Also extraordinary... I love this image.

[flashback]

I really like this new image but I'm getting worried that, with all of your positioning and jiggling that something catastrophic may happen to the glasses.

Thank you Christina.

Jack I can’t say that it isn’t a constant cause for concern! And I’ve had a couple of horrifying moments that caused me to cringe.

But in the event of the unspeakable and before I slice my wrists with one of the glass shards we’ll just do what we always do!

Shoot the pieces, swear profusely, and cry like a baby!
