Abstract? A bit image heavy...

[Manfred M]

I spent the afternoon doing some rather strange B&W work.

Two Glencairn whisky glasses partially filled with water are the base, a glass sphere and two glass hemispheres were the subjects. I had everything sitting on a sheet of black acrylic and shot the light (small softbox with front baffle removed) through a piece of white, translucent acrylic. I clamped a window screen and a cooling rack for baking to the white acrylic sheet. I converted everything to B&W to eliminate some of the strange colours created by my primitive optics.



























Here are a few shots of the setup I used:


1. The water filled glasses and glass objects on the acrylic sheet.






2. A bit more of a wider view






3. The setup. You can see the laptop in front of the TV. I always shoot tethered when I do this kind of work. If you have either Lightroom or Capture One, shooting tethered is easy; all you need is a cable to connect your camera to the computer.

I rather like them.

Great exercise!!! I did something similar out of sheer boredom during on of our first COVID lock-downs. I must admit mine was rather a more primitive set-up: just a cardboard box, with two sides removed and a printed striped background in front of a glass - but it was FUN!
