A Slender Reed of Glass * Traveller

BTW, There is no PS'ing in this image...well, the standard, crop, curves, contrast, color balance, sharpening, oh, and for the first time, Noise Median...why not? However, Again, (!) I had my XT battery going dead...so only one shot left when the little symbol starts blinking. I think that this has gotten bad for me because of the IS on the Lens...just drains the sucker as it sits in my car trunk. I have two batteries for the D60...so yes, in some frustration, I will buy a second battery next week.

But, in retrospect, I would have had time to set up the tripod and shoot this with a high f stop and DOF had the battery not been going dead. So maybe all's well that ends well.

The problem with this image was how to orientate it? Gads, this is maybe the 5th crop and...flip H, flip V, Rotate 90ccw...ad infinitum. Hummm Best Wishes, Traveller

Traveller,
What some people fail to realise is a straight line is an angle of 180 degrees, and a square box is 4 90 degree angles. If you had posted a wire against a blue sky completely horizontal it would have been on topic. Anyone that suggests otherwise has limited themselves to thinking the subject has to be on a plane other than that being level.
This is not really my cuppa tea, but wanted to defend your decision to enter it.

Nicely shot image with flowing colour and good lighting. I would have thought it has enough obvious angles to be clearly on topic.

Thanks Shu, Cat and Brent: I am usually sooooo far behind the curve of everyone else here that I will live with this even if the Angle is...obscure, though it is there...lol But this is pretty, the colors are real and vibrant, the background noise was a little reduced in PS with Noise Median....this speaks to me as just...something so nice, with a good emotional feel to it...that I can't banish this Image to pending. Thanks again, especially from Shu, whose speciality this is. Shu knows good glass images. Best Wishes, Traveller

It is beautiful! An angle "impression," if you will. shu

Great Abstract! Very pleasing color combination. I get a sense of something moving up or down, fast! -Cat

This is a beautiful image- just wish it suggested more angle for the current topic though.

Naj: Regarding Angles, originally, there is a brown tube of glass running parallel to the red one and, when oriented 90 degrees CCW, I had titled this, Running at a Parallel Angles...however, I came to sense that I was getting too fancy for myself...this is the better image, IMHO, and so I went with it. This is a large colection of finely blown glass, each is I believe a vase of some sort...to be compliant, I was going to title this...Glass Reed at Less Than 90 degrees...but I would have been stretching it, so I left it as it. I just think that this is impressionistically pretty. Best wishes, Traveller

Interesting shot and lovely colours. Great backdrop, but not seeing any promintent angles in it though. - Najinsky
