Lava Lamp
by Laura Milholland

San Rafael, CA

A "Blast from the past" - well, sort of.
Actually our lava lamp is fairly new - Paul thought the granddaughter would get a kick out of it, which she does.
I thought I'd add a few other "dated" looking items with it.
This is the second scene I shot - using the same setup as with the wine glasses.
A sample of some variations on lighting can be seen here:

I like the lighting you chose - it makes the lava really stand out in the lamp. I also like that you chose to set it up with the scarves and the beads. Makes it look very 70s!

I like the lighting on this one and how it gradually gets darker as we move up the image.
