August 2: Glass Art
When my daughter and I went to the Living Museum on Wednesday she saw that piece of glass art that she liked but could not afford. Like a good Dad I bought it for her. I told her I did want to photograph the dolphin as a DP and she said Sure! I struggled with this yesterday, the reflections, the lighting, the colors of light. All the odd things that go with multi angle glass work. In the final product I ended up purchasing a second C123A flashlight, I like the color of light they produce, to due the job. A drawback to these lights is they get HOT fast. Trying to hold 2 hot flashlights and the remote trigger while framing the shot and light is a trip. I ended up getting an inspiration and using my microphone stand to hold one of the light and that helped. I took about 30 shots before I decided on this combo. This is a left side shot and a right side shot merged in PS with layers nose to nose. I made a layer around both dolphins and moved them to a new layer. The background is the blue off one of the blue stripes and the frame borders are the yellow, green, and red in the pattern. The depressions/ dark spot on the head is the insets in the glass for the eyes. We are going to frame this shot and hang it on the wall in my daughters bathroom. I think I am going to have to resize as it is 8.5x24 :) Have a great day everyone
