Custom-designed Cloche
by dawn

This was a hat that was in a show at the gallery. The
artist wanted a shot of it to use in an artcard we
are having printed up for her. The card turned out
very nicely--very modern looking and the hat seemed
to almost float on it. I had 5 minutes to do this and no
studio lights--only the available light from the half-
windows (top half are panelled up because of the artwork
being shown in the gallery). Someday maybe I'll convince
the Board to let us invest in some basic lighting as I seem
to be doing this quite regularly for various members--all
visual artists of one kind or another.

Very nice DOF and use of available light to bring out the high quality of the hat. Nice job.

I like the photo. To me, the shadow around the hat anchors it. Since I'm involved in Artist Trading Cards and rubberstamping I see making use of this as an art card, business card, ect....anyhow, it is lovely. V

To Gary, yes, that's what it is supposed to be -- a picture of a hat. To show to her propective clients. That's it.

Sorry Dawn, like a lot of my own shots, this doesn't do anything for me. I just see a picture of a hat.

Dawn, I really like the lighting in this photo. The dark background make the hat look like it's floating,
