Thank you so much, everyone! This is another bit of glass from my favorite glassblower, Michael Schunke; he does really beautiful work! #4245680

Autum Rhoades May 04, 2007 0

Christopher, he does fantastic work - but you photograph it in a fantastic way too! You could help promote his business! Awesome job! #4245979

Chris Budny May 04, 2007 0

Thanks, Autum!
I'll probably see him again this summer at his studio; perhaps I'll pull up all my various images of his glass! (I managed a Finalist a year ago, with a yellow sphere he made.)
Sadly, he already has a fantastic studio photographer who does all his website images now. #4246070

Beautiful composition, Christopher. Very vivid and perfect colors! #4248920

Chris Budny May 05, 2007 0

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! #4249542

Katarina Mansson May 06, 2007 0

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 :-) #4252195

Chris Budny May 07, 2007 0

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.) #4254822

Tom Andersen May 07, 2007 0

The colors in this image are fabulous, Christopher! Wonderful work! #4257023

Chris Budny May 08, 2007 0

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. #4259880

Colleen Farrell June 26, 2007 0

Considering all the cocktails we imbibed in the C&C thread, this image is particularly apropos! Big congratulations on a beautiful macro, Christopher! #4441446
