My Best Daily Shots
10/13/09 - Dancing Bubbles of Light
No sun in central NC yesterday...just clouds and a light drizzle. After I put the kids in bed last night, I experimented with my beads and glass. This piece of glass is a small rectanguler snack tray that on one side has a raised notch were a little tea cup can sit. I saw it at the thrift store about a week ago and thought it was really pretty to bring home.
I've adjusted the color curves on this one in PSE. The original colors were more pastel. I also spent a good half an hour using the spot healing tool to remoe some tiny dots/imperfections. The finished photo has bolder, darker colors and hopefully has a nice smooth finish.
If you missed the details before, I take these by placing a light source over a glass object that has some sort of beads/marbles on it and shooting the picture from underneath back up through the glass. The light shining through the beads and pattern in the glass makes the picture.
My original plan with this was to get a 'blue' shot for the current dgrin challenge going on, but I ended up with too many colors that aren't blue. I'll keep trying. I need to buy a few blue beads I think. And, I keep studying the cobalt blue glass collection that I have trying to figure out if I could do something neat with it.
There are so many great shots on the dailies each day. I love participating in this group!
