Jonathan this is excellent, what the hell is it?

Jonathan this is excellent, what the hell is it?

Thanks. It's a close up of two drinking glasses on a shelf lit by a single window (immediately to the camera's right) in my basement. Here is a digital snapshot of the subject and how it looked to the naked eye with the approximate final framing marked in red:

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing how you did it.

Jonathan, excellent idea and image! :-)

[jcoldslabs]

Thanks to you both. It's funny, but the image was not planned at all. I did see the light striking some of the glasses and things on the shelves, but I first focused on some tea cups on the shelf below. I couldn't frame up anything worthwhile, so I raised the tripod head and started focusing on the glasses. Looking at the digital photo with the red rectangle it makes it seem more "zeroed in" and purposeful than it was. Partly just luck. It's what you get when playing around and keeping an open mind!

This is the result of playing around in my studio on Friday. Cropped 4x5 Acros with some Photoshop work.

I put up a tarp on the back porch last week during our one hundred degree days to keep the sun off the house as best I could.

I really like all three of those Jonathan, especially the detail of the glasses. You've reminded me that I don't need to drive across the state to find photographs. Of course, I do so enjoy driving across the state...
