Glass artist!

[StuartH]

Took these today on a visit to cotswold wildlife park..the glass ornaments this guy make have to be seen to be believed!!..very impressive..

 

[eosuser]

Very nice! Have you got one of a finished ornament by any chance? A sort of before and after....

 

[Hoodi]

really brill!
I agree, seeing the finished job would be cool

 

[Marianne]

nice shots! I love to watch these craftspeople working!

Very nice Stuart ... ... and it looks like only with available light too ...


A great insight into the detailed work necessary in his trade ... ... bet his fingers get a bit hot during the day though ... :shrug:

Thats a nice set of shots

My first ex-wife was a glass artist

 

[StuartH]

Thanks everyone..yes just available light no flash at all..used the 50mm 1.8 for these and the tamron 90mm for a couple as well..I wish I had taken some of a finished piece but it was busy in there and not a lot of room so we left early..

Stuart, those photo's are stunning. Youve managed to keep the colour in the flames, yet still get detail in the darker areas.

That reminds me, did anyone ever read the sketch in Viz comic where the superhero GLASSMAN goes to a glass artist to get a penis extension, only to come out half an hour later with it shaped like a dolphin.

Nice shots of an artist at work

Very nicely done, 5th shot for me, spot on

Looks like he's stolen a borrowers gatling cannon though, what'll they do to protect themselves when the carpet people invade

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback,this sort of photography isn't what I normally do but could get into it..got a 85mm 1.4 coming soon to play with also.

Really enjoyed these shots, StuartH. The lighting is dramatic and the craftsman looks totally engrossed in his work. It's a fascinating craft to watch and I won't make the comment about it's always nice to see men at work .... ooops, sorry I already did :bonk:

But in this case, yeah, brilliant, exciting pics

cheers Jeangenie..Must admit I could have watched him for hours..very engrossing!
