e. from Washington DC, United States
Wow this is gorgeous! What is it and how did you take it?
12 Nov 2007 8:26am
@e.: Hey e. thanks so much. Ok first you take a crystal or at least clear vase, then you wait until the late afternoon sun comes in throught the glass doorway, then you put the vase on a tile with sort of a marble effect and you wait until the sun hits it just rights (that means you take about 40 shots) LOL wait I'm not finished, if you have 3 cats, then you must shoo them away at the rate of 10 times per second., then you catch just one that either adds a black or golden spot. Then you download it,shadow it, throw some of it focal blur, Eh Voilà...no trouble AT ALL ;) Oh and I threw in a few cerulean (a sophisticated blue) -I made that up- shade
@badala: Thanks a lot Badala :)

Thanks for the link you sent me! - After reading your great blog it immediately struck me that you should retry this photo using the snow globe about which you wrote so poetically. (if it would work with the light)
What do you think?
