My friend Dayton M. is visiting from Albuquerque. He’d never seen Chihuly’s glass so we went today.

chihuly abstracts
A shot created by moving my camera during exposure.
If you squint, you might be able to make out Chihuly’s work 🙂
These “scorpion tails” are all over the garden but I have yet
to get a shot I’m happy with so I usually end up experimenting
with filters. Here I played with Framing Pear’s Mr. Contrast.

Trying to capture Chihuly’s glass creations in the outdoors is really tough
but with a little help from the digital darkroom, I get the shot I want.

I checked out the Chihuly exhibit yesterday morning and was reminded that a nice sunny day is not a time to shoot glass! An overcast day or early evening when the light is lower and more even is best. Since the show is here until May, I have plenty of time to get the shots I want. In the meantime, I used Photoshop to make the best of what I liked yesterday.

f9.5, 1/90th of a second at ISO 4000. It’s that last number that makes tripod allergic people happy 🙂

The Desert Botanical Garden’s Luminaria is extra special this year with an exhibit of Chihuly glass. I spent two hours shooting mostly abstracts because it was so dark but did manage to get a couple of normal shots such as the one above. Below is an abstract of Scorpion Tails that were throughout the garden.
