Back from Miami (img's in reply)
Posted By: Lipo, 01-02-2007, 09:58 AM

Dear friends,

I just got back from my quick holiday vacation of South Florida. I hope nobody minds me sharing a few pictures from one event that had a lasting impression in my mind. It was one morning at Fairchild Gardens in Miami, and I was lucky enough to be able to see and photograph some of the great Dale Chihuly's glasswork that was so beautifully placed for exhibit. If you ever get a chance to see Chihuly's glass you'll be in for a treat.

I especially loved the colors of the glass. They looked so alive! I cannot begin to reproduce it in photos, but here are a few batch processed images to give you an idea, taken from RAW with the *ist DS and SMC F 28-80/3.5-4.5. These were all handheld and no filters or lenshood used.

Beautiful colors and designs!

Real pieces of art.

My favorite is the last one (with the turkey vulture ).

Actually- number 5 stands out- the two globes in the pool.

Good work- the glass magician and you.

Thank you Tom,

I like number 5 too as a photo in itself, and that "turkey vulture" in the last one was a good touch, though it was probably due more to luck than anything else. I saw it in the viewfinder, but I waited a second or two before pressing the shutter release. I'll probably spend more time eventually on individual photos when I preparing to print a few.

Very interesting, I've never seen anything quite like it.

Welcome back, looking forward to seeing some more from your trip.

Lipo, fine images and a spectacular place! The glass work is breathtaking. Can't decide which shot I liked the best - maybe the last one but???

Thanks, Dan

Beautiful glass arts! I like the dry garden with red glass sticks coming out of the ground like bamboo shoots.

Thanks for looking guys, I think they're kind of 'post cardy' myself, but I'm happy to have gotten them anyway. I've got more, and not just of the glass, but don't have time at the moment to even look at them. I'm very happy with the camera and lens, and I don't see outgrowing them ever. Hey, it's all about having fun anyway.
