Photos Glass and fun!

So the other day I had a few minutes with my camera at a glass installation at the botanical gardens nearby. I wish I had more time there, but I got some fun stuff. There were two that I was thinking I might submit as POTM entries. I could not decide which DOF I liked for some. I hope the color is as nice on most other monitors as it is here!

 

love 5, looks like some alien landscape

 

I am quite a fan of #2 Those balls are awesome!

 

Prefer #2 over #1

the reflectimons in #3 and #4 are great too

 

Can I please have #2 @ 1920*1200!

 

Are those taken with the nifty?

 

#2 and #5 all the way. Really great pictures and the reflection in 5 is awesome, good work.

Hey '91 here is the image you wanted:

Hope thats the right one.

 

That's Chihuly, isn't it? Some absolutely amazing work. He had an exhibition (possibly the same one) at Kew Gardens in London a couple of years ago. I've got loads of pics of that somewhere. I love his work, it's got such an alien feel to it.

I love #3 & #8, nice shots.

 

Yes it was Chihuly at Phipps conservatory in Pittsburgh. I wish I had more time there was so much beauty there, but I had to leave and it was the last day. Glass work amazes me, and I wish I had the time to learn myself.

 

Last two blew my mind. I wish I had that kind of subject matter to photograph.

 

I really like 4. How did you get the glass to appear to float on the water?
