About	This image (6500) was shot through a storefront of a glass art gallery on Leary at night on 5 August 2006. The objects shot are practical glass art (bowls and vases) illuminated by overhead lighting in the shop window. My angle to the shop window was pretty oblique (to the glass) so I was looking as close to strait down on the glass as the window would allow, and the lights were from above. This image has had it's levels adjusted slightly. It has also been (of course) resized and shrunk for upload. No other PS work was done. Hope you like it. Let me know with your questions and comments.

Annemette - Thanks.

Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen {K:55244} 5/22/2007

Like a tulip floating in an ocean.

It's the first of a series of three I posted early on.

John Hatz {K:156973} 12/24/2006

WOW!!! That looks like smoke because of the blurness of the motion, like colorfull smoke! Very nice!

James Cook {K:38068} 11/14/2006

Enrico - Thank you. I'm glad you like this part of my story Murder on the Ornament Express.

Thanks, Ave. It is an exciting range of techniques. See you around.

jeah it`s a similar one..it´s quite funny how you can play with lightning and camera settings.
i like that the red and yellow light stripes bring here some colours;)
well done,

Albert - Thank you for your kind comment.

The shot was lit from above by some kind of track lighting in the window display (at night). The motion that you see was entirely the product of camera motion.

All of my luxagraphic photographs involve camera motion (sometimes also subject motion), and I work to avoid doing any unnecessary PS work on any of them.

Albert Jacobs {K:9527} 8/31/2006

Hello James,

I like this interesting attention catching image.
Strong in movement and lines. Very nice transformation. Compliments.

Did you work with available light and moving, or other important influences ?

James Cook {K:38068} 8/30/2006

Alison - Thank you so much. As you can tell, I really enjoy the products of my luxagraphic explorations.

Alison DuFlon {K:36566} 8/30/2006

I love the wild color and motion in this shot, a wonderful abstract. Alison

James Cook {K:38068} 8/25/2006

Thanks, Erik.

Erik Neldner {K:10846} 8/24/2006

great one!!

James Cook {K:38068} 8/23/2006

Cary - Thanks. I'm glad you like my luxagraphic work. It's been something to pursue for me for some time now.

Cary Shaffer {K:9269} 8/23/2006

Hi James, your abstract images are very fascinating, I was thinking about light painting, which is somewhat my impression here. Keep on shooting and thanks for the recent comment, Cary

James Cook {K:38068} 8/19/2006

Marija - It does look like a tulip. Maybe next spring I can go to the tulip festival up north of here and take some shots in those fields.

I have no choice but to let my camera choose the settings. It's a point-and-shoot. Soon I hope to have dSLR, but until then this is it. I do fool it by pulling the exposure by two stops and other little tricks. Even still I think its slowest shutter speed is maybe 2 seconds (maybe less).

Thanks. See you.

Marija Ristic {K:4136} 8/19/2006

Oh yes, I wanted to ask you: Do you choose your shutter speed or you let the camera do it for you?

Marija Ristic {K:4136} 8/19/2006

I love this one, it looks like a tulip...a fav for me, thankyou!

digoy {K:-478} 8/19/2006

so this is the part where the murderer strikes the victim and the second photo is the part where the murderer leaves the scene. the green light could be the weapon. theres also something at the bottom of the green light which looks like the foot of the murderer. thats how i see it anyway. and...the butler did it!
you could smash the bowl, but you'll have to pay for it:)...

James Cook {K:38068} 8/19/2006

Did you have a look at the second part of the story:

http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=1164381

I'd like to make it a murder mystery, but I don't think they'll let me smash the bowl.

digoy {K:-478} 8/19/2006

no problem..

James Cook {K:38068} 8/18/2006

Thank you, Digoy.

digoy {K:-478} 8/18/2006

nice, very impressionist. it looks like a painting..

-D

James Cook {K:38068} 8/18/2006

Dave - Thank you. I wanted to retain some of their reality.

Dave Arnold {K:55680} 8/18/2006

great result, not too much movement and a good emphasis on the objects before the camera movement.

Dave

James Cook {K:38068} 8/18/2006

Mary - I guess some comments were lost during the site problems earlier. Thanks again. (And again, hahaha.) Ciao.

Mary Slade {K:40338} 8/17/2006
