03/17/09 - Through Rippled Glass

One last montage of the tulips in my sun room - one exposure shot through a piece of rippled clear glass and the 2nd a straight shot (both against a black backdrop). I like this glass for the way that it picks up side reflections and spreads the colors around.
There are two hard things with these shots through glass. One is controlling the glare & reflections - especially with glass like this piece that has very deep texture. I can't always tell exactly where the light & reflections are coming from - much less do anything about them. The 2nd difficulty is arranging the combination of boxes and things that I use to get the flowers, glass, backdrops, diffusion disks, and on & on all at the right heights relative to one another. One day there's going to be a big crash.
