Still Life: Study in blue

Still Life: Study in blue
Two pieces of glass standing side by side, almost mirroring themselves in their enveloping curves. Behind is a background of sky blue and clouds with hints of red reflections in the glass from somewhere, we know not where from.

Simple but very effective Herb...........I especially like the shape of the taller piece of glass and I love the background.

I suspect the red reflections may have come from your focus-assist light, but I quite like them to be honest.

Love it..!!

Thanks for another appraisal Keith. Yes, the glass shapes where most fortunate to have at hand -sadly both now gone.
Haha, flash and focus assist -this was taken well before all that! The background is a projected out of focus slide of a real sky I had taken on a 6'x5' screen. The red light was actually a torch-light shining through red toffee paper . I think the liquid was water. This was originally a glass mounted slide that would not release -hence the scan via the glass resulting in the strange water marks. The original scan was quite big, but I could not find that here and so had to rely on re-sizing this up - hence the rather poor overall quality that incidentally lends a bit of authenticity to an oil painting perhaps. You know all my secrets now ! - Don't tell anybody!!!

Cheers, Herb

Thanks for the explanation Herb...........I should have noticed that there was no Exif details shown and guessed it wasn't a digital shot!
