Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
Photography: Glass
These three cherries are made of white glass; different colouring was obtained during the shooting process. Possibilities when shooting glass are endless.
This is my entry for today’s #photo101 project.

Beautiful photo Paula. I love the colours and the light. I also happen to love cherries.

What colour would you choose? 😉

I would have eaten them all. Drink them in beer, drink them in wine, eat them in chocolate.
The only thing I don’t like is cherry tea, because it doesn’t really taste like cherry.

True, and you don’t have to drink it. I think it is good for ladies only 😀

That is very clever and has produced a beautiful photo – care to give us a clue how it was done? The most obvious one to choose would be red, so I am going for the rather peachy coloured one as my favourite.

Two small sources of light (clip on lamps) and three colour filters that are normally attached to a camera lens, but this time they were placed in front of the light source. Thanks, AnnetteM!

Well, you got my attention captivated for more than 3 minutes. Not an easy feat under ADHD. How about shiny fire-engine red?

I was really curious to know how you have done the color rendering part, and great to see the effort went in.
Beautiful image for it’s simplicity and striking color contrast with the black background 🙂
Thanks a lot for sharing the music too 🙂

I understood your answer to AnnetteM that you combined several fotos with different filters. It’s not one single shot. Am I right?
LikeLike
No, it is one shot – one exposure. Filters were not used on camera, they were placed on lamps 🙂

Amazing. Simply fantastic!

🙂 Thank you Marius. Can you see my Jupiter widget that I used on Thursday’s Special event? This is also glass – a glass lamp, and I have another lamp that I call Mars 🙂

Cool shot, Paula. I was stumped then I read the explanations. Now I see the lights on the cherry stalks as well. It makes sense now. Very well done.

I thought I’d appreciated this already, but my comment must have got lost in space. A beautiful luminous photo, with such wonderful luminous glass-colours. I’d love to watch you taking such a photo – I can’t quite envisage how you did it, despite your very clear explanation.
I’m in recovery – up till 11.30 two nights in a row talking: that’s a once a year phenomenon usually! Jude was great company.

Thank you for the appreciation, Meg. I am really thankful for your interest 🙂 I have noticed something I noticed before in other bloggers, and I don’t know how to feel about it – there are some popular bloggers than only feign their interest in my posts – their superficial comments make me feel bad. I wish they would just forget I exist and go on with their business. It happened here and again on my Triumph post, not to mention my earlier posts. If attention is what they are after – and I can see it clearly- why don’t they leave in peace and go after other suckers. Sorry for this out pour. I had to share with somebody. I decided to ignore the people whose silly comments made me feel bad and surely they will stop visiting here.
It is great to hear you have had fun with your friend Jude. It is special to meet in person people from blogoshpere. Have a good rest, Meg 🙂

Rest Paula? Tomorrow I take a friend shopping (60 km round trip) and go to Book Club. Then I pack the car and drive to Queensland for a month! I’m a bit insane. But insanity offers many pleasures. I’ll see my senior grandkids and my son and daughter and their respective and wonderful partners, to say nothing of dogs, alpacas, chooks and a cat. Blogging will be compromised at one point – my daughter has awful Internet connection.
My wish for you? Only encounters with intelligent and thoughtful commenters. May it happen!

Have a good time, Meg. I like acting insane- it balances me. I understand about your connectio and will miss you. And I appreciate your wishes as much as your intelligent company 🙂

P.S. I forgot to mention that I envy you the meeting with alpacas :(. You should take pics of them and submit them for my challenge whether in colour or black and white (or both). 😀

I’ll do that. They are all rescue alpacas, except one who is the offspring of a rescue alpaca and a “stud” alpaca. They’re pets, not statements!
