photography | Worlds Within - A Universe in Glass

Bonus Photo of the Week

Sometimes I just have to share! This week I am working on multiple images from just one of my glass disks with an idea to change my Greco Gallery “An Artist Boutique” wall in the near future. The idea is to highlight one piece of glass and all of the photos that I find in it. Sound good? So, in working on the images, I have found a few that I am really excited about. Here are a couple. If you would like to give input, please do.

Photo of the Week, May 14

Another image with a “celestial” feel to it. I love these! Part of the reason I named this collection of images “Worlds Within” is that some look like things that should be of another universe. Can’t you imagine the Enterprise sailing past something like this in the old episodes of Star Trek?

Finally, I have upgraded my Photoshop and Lightroom programs, so I hope to be able to do some extra fine tuning of upcoming images. While I don’t like to do a whole lot to the images, sometimes the color really isn’t quite as true to the actual color of the glass as I would like, or there are a few extra bubbles that take away from the overall photo, so I do a bit of refining. This one had some specks that weren’t a part of the glass and needed a bit of sharpening. Much to explore!

How about Photo of the Week?

Ok, so my last post was titled “New Photo of the Day” and I thought that maybe I would try to post a photo a day. I should have known better. While I probably have enough photos to do a daily post, that just isn’t going to happen. So instead I’m going to try a “Photo of the Week”. Now that sounds like something I should be able to handle. Maybe even once in a while I’ll do a couple of new photos if I have a really good week of picture-taking.

I’m still playing with the extension tubes and today took a few shots of an older piece of glass using just the 36mm extension. It still allows me to get closer than I had before, and seems to get great detail. These were taken with a Nikon D3200, with a Tamron 60mm F/2 Macro 1:1 plus the 36mm extension tube.
