Chris Budny level-deluxe May 04, 2007

Thank you so much, everyone! This is another bit of glass from my favorite glassblower, Michael Schunke; he does really beautiful work! #4245680

Autum Rhoades May 04, 2007

Christopher, he does fantastic work - but you photograph it in a fantastic way too! You could help promote his business! Awesome job! #4245979

Chris Budny level-deluxe May 04, 2007

Thanks, Autum!
I'll probably see him again this summer at his studio; perhaps I'll pull up all my various images of his glass! (I managed a Finalist a year ago, with a yellow sphere he made.)
Sadly, he already has a fantastic studio photographer who does all his website images now. #4246070

Ken Smith level-classic May 04, 2007

Beautiful composition, Christopher. Very vivid and perfect colors! #4248920

Chris Budny level-deluxe May 05, 2007

Thank you, Ken! It just dawned on me that I could have put this in the Theme, instead; the gold flecks in the twisted glass ball are actually the result of gold leaf being applied to the hot glass. Oh well! #4249542

Katarina Mansson May 06, 2007

Lovely colors, lighting, composition and DOF! (I guess these glasses go well with your shaker selection and look forward to trying them all in the next C&C thread :-) #4252195

Chris Budny level-deluxe May 06, 2007

Thanks, Katarina! Yes, I am set to host the C&C Happy Hour, any time the group wants to visit! 21 shakers, and at least that many martini glasses! (Though just 2 of the glasses are hand-made beauties, as shown here.) #4254822

Tom Andersen May 07, 2007

The colors in this image are fabulous, Christopher! Wonderful work! #4257023

Chris Budny level-deluxe May 08, 2007

Thank you so much, Tom! I was surprised how the background turned out---it was actually black (the back wall of a china cabinet) but the ambient light in the room, and the wall of daylight from patio doors behind me, at the long exposure, rendered this very mellow color instead. #4259880

Colleen Farrell June 26, 2007
