Glass Brick Abstracts
I’ll be honest, if you like your compositions to obey the rules these next few posts may not be your cup of tea. They are basically a series of photographs where the predominant subject is light. The objects that appear are only in the photographs because of what they do to the light.
This one is a view through a glass brick and a plastic beaker. The window behind these is the light source. The sharpest area is right at the front of the view and it is the out of focus objects combined with a fast f/1.8 aperture that gives the dramatic bokeh.

My wife's excellent blog.
No idea what it is but it looks cool :) … yep, I did read glass brick and beaker ;)
Thanks +Andreas Kardin ha! the beaker is the pink thing and the glass brick is the white thing – the foreground is a black card table. The lighti s coming from a window and is shining through the two objects. Bet that didn't help at all :)
very cool!
Thanks +raymond samson - overdosing on bokeh today – back to normal tomorrow :)
overdose away Steve, great series. like where you get your bokeh from
Thanks +raymond samson - I'll probably end up shooting everything at f/22 for a week to regain my equilibrium ;)
Very nice +Steve Johnson. Like the reflections and the pink color in the otherwise monocrome feeling.
Cheers +Robert Walter the pink made a huge difference – and I tend to default to monochrome.
