For Brattcat, Or, It's Hard To Light Glass

.
Found in the same junk/antique store in Maine as last Wednesday's post. Glass is problematic. There is usually glare. Strobes spread light behind the translucent object that you may not light (or it may look really cool). I never did learn how to deal with it but sometimes the outcome was okay.

    je suis d'accord avec toi, gérer la lumière avec des bouteilles/verres etc... est très difficile a doser. Bravo tu as bien réussit, la photo est très belle

    I don't think I could have resisted this one.

    I am sure Brattcat will enjoy this tribute.

    I'm sorry to say I'm not the Vermont Maid who posed for this label but I'd be your subject any time, Bob. Beautifully lit, and a wonderfully appreciated post.

    Oh that's a great one and look, there's still a little bit left in the bottom! :)

    You're right, glass is hard to shoot - but you seem to have done very well.

    To answer your question, computer, although I do like infrared.

    Not Kitty, but might it have been her Mom?
