Glass and light

[Gavin Robert]

A glass head from a jewellery display cabinet photographed in front of some black out cloth along with a directional halogen desk lamp 2 feet to the right. PS'd to remove any light traces of the desktop lamp and then ran through a chrome filter. Finally a layer with PS's standard 'solar flare'.

You lost me after "desk lamp", but a stunning image regardless

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Amazing, Gavin. Really like it. Almost astronomical...

 

[Pete Askew]

Inspired Gavin, simply inspired. And a wonderful result. Did you know where you were going when you started or was this one of those shots that develop during the process?

 

[Gavin Robert]

Thank you Lesley and Rob. I think astronomical would be a good perspective Rob. Not sure what I was trying to create as it just happened.

Thanks Pete. This was one of those 'I know I can do something with this item but I don't know what yet' moments. I'm sure Helen is apprehensive when I go shopping with her as I often want the shop fittings and not what stock they have to offer. Getting more bonkers as every day passes...

 

[Pete Askew]

I can sympathise entirely - you should see the junk I accumulate as props!! Luckily, Ina is as bad.

 

[alfie Wright]

That work really well. Love the coloured orb effect!

 

[Darren Turner]

yes that works for me, great idea done well, very arty photo, nice work.

out of curiosity is the lens flare effect real or applied in PP

[Gavin Robert]

The flare was applied in PP Darren. PS> Filters> Render> Lens Flare> 50-300mm zoom. I'll attach the original file soon but it'll be a disappointment.

Thanks Alfie. Don't mention orbs or Helen will start getting all spiritual on me. Please....

So you're the same Pete. I'm sure some traders imagine I'm the client of a community care project when I pay for what appears to be the rubbish which no-one else wants. Or when I ask for a shop fitting and is usually when Helen acts as though she is nothing to do with me. Onwards and upwards.
