I really like this. Love the colors and the abstract design of it. #97

Leigh,
Thanks. Not really into abstracts, so it's the only serious one I've done. Shot it for an on-line gallery that sponsors periodic themed events. This one was "Abstracts: Anything which will make the viewer wonder what the heck it is that appears in the picture should do nicely."

The object photographed is a peacock "suncatcher" made of colored glass that hangs in our window. The tail feathers cover the spectrum like a rainbow. It was backlit by bright white daylight reflected off of snow covering the back yard. Camera to subect distance was about 6 feet. The spectrum of colors in the tail feather glass were abstracted from its texture and lead frame by focusing at infinity. The 600mm focal length was chosen to get as much focus mis-match as possible.

Its bold colors are growing on me. Recently had an 8x12 print of the Kodachrome slide made for framing.

Thanks,

John,

I agree with previous comments. This is a pleasing photo which captured all the colors of the spectrum vividly. Amazing, isn't it, where beauty can be found?

Rick,
Yes, it is. Traveling to exotic locations isn't necessary. One only needs to work at "seeing" and it begins to appear everywhere. Not always easy, but it's there. BTW, I had fun creating this one!

Thanks,
