At the Glassworks

Posted by Sidonie (Sydney, Australia) on 31 May 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

The new Canberra Glassworks opened this month in the restored Powerhouse at Kingston, ACT.

This is the first in a series taken on a tour which included a demonstration of glass making.

Shot through a glass barrier which separated spectators from the action.

@kairospix: It's aluminium foil on the table Ithink. Thanks K!

@vasa: Yeah, an effect I was hoping for but wouldn't be able to easily make in pp. Thanks Vasa for the visit.

Cool shot Helen!! or should I say hot LOL Really like how this one looks slightly desaturated. And it's not easy taking a shot through plate glass!!

Bob from New Jersey, United States

Nice and clear even though it was taken through a glass barrier.
I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

@Bob: It's a lesson learnt too -shooting through glass - hope you find something else of interest in the series. Thanks Bob.

Henri Rabagny from Paris, France

Côté métier, c'est encore trop neuf, c'est trop propre !

Côté photo, c'est superbe. Ça ressemble à la technique de sélection de couleur. Un point coloré et le reste en noir et blanc...

@Henri Rabagny: Par hazard, c'est tout. Merci Henri.

Helen from Melbourne, Australia

Amazing colour of the molten glass. I agree with all of the above comments. Great shot.
[An aside: Did you play around with cropping? With the stunning light on the bench and the colour of the spoon it would be interesting to play around with an abstract.]

@Helen: Thanks Helen - no cropping or pp of any kind. I took a series in fast succession from this angle - they all look similar, although the "bulb" was at various sizes, - and some are lighter, or the "bulb" is smaller - I've put the series on Flickr and in a slideshow generated with JAlbum.

Still from Valence, France

You've done a very interesting series!

@Still: Merci Still - tu est revenu a la premiere, je vois!
