Backlit water
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010
New York City. A group of us had dinner in New York over the Holidays and Gary and I spent a considerable amount of time attempting to photograph this glass of water with a candle behind it. It was a lot of fun and while my wife and our other friends rolled their eyes and talked about other things, Gary and I got deeper and deeper into it. Soon others in the restaurant were looking over at us wondering what was so interesting to get two people to spend so much time photographing at the table.
I should try these kind of shots sometime. At least I have good examples in your shots!
You should Jonne. And, you have the camera to pull it off (5D2). It’s fun to shoot objects like this, even more fun to do it in a semi-crowded place like a restaurant.
Richard, that was a good session, nice to see these. Your photos came out very well, looking very fine in monochrome.
Thanks Gary, it was a great time and the beer and food was good too!
Richard, yes the food and beer was great too. Wish we’d had more time to photograph the desserts though!
