I shoot a lot of floral macros and abstracts in various ways (as I’m guessing most people have noticed by now). But every now and then, one has to depart from flowers and do something else sooooo…..I was walking through Ikea and noticed some intriguing shapes in some inexpensive glass vases, and brought them home, and this photo was the result. I’m a graphic designer by trade so the strong shapes and colors appealed to me.
It was shot with a Canon 20D against a white backdrop using a Canon 60mm macro lens, 5s, f/22. The reason for the long exposure was that it was done in fairly poor light indoors without a flash to avoid any reflections. It would have been better had it been done earlier in the day in better light, but alas, my schedule, like almost everyone else’s, doesn’t always allow me to knock off in the daylight hours.
