Thanks, Kurt. We have seen two Chihully exhibits at the Phoenix Botanical Garden. I hope they can find the money in the future for more of them. His work is always fascinating.

Steve-n-Ning April 28, 2023
Thank you, Joop, for your kind words. Unfortunately, the contest is still 'Under Review', and Viewbug is likely to steal another few top spots from before it is all over. My photo was #1 overall all the time until they went into review. This is the second time they have taken an overall win away from me. I'm still proud of the photo.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at an exposition of Dale Chihully's glass art at the Phoenix Botanical Garden.

Time

The photo was taken in the evening, after sunset. The display area for this particular piece was indoors, but nightfall ensured that no stray sunlight created unwanted reflections.

Lighting

The lighting was that provided in the exhibit.

Equipment

I used my Canon EOS 7D with a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens at a focal length of 40mm. The camera was handheld.

Inspiration

Dale Chihully's work is amazing. Most people familiar with his work know his large outdoor pieces. But he also creates marvelous smaller works like this vase. I wanted to highlight this more intimate form of his work.

Editing

I use Adobe Lightroom as my primary editing tool. I also use Photoshop, Luminar 4 and Aurora HDR software. In the case of this photo, very little post-processing was required beyond cropping and optimizing highlights, shadows and colors.

In my camera bag

My Canon EOS 5D Mark IV always has my Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM lens mounted on it. That is my go-to lens for the majority of my photos. I also carry several lenses: Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM, Canon EF 24-105 f/4L IS USM and a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM. I try to shoot with natural light all the time, but on those occasions where I need an external light source, I use either a Neewer CN-216 LED panel or a Canon Speedlite 580EX. I have tripods by Slik, 3Pod and Manfrotto. I have a Canon EOS 7D, a Canon EOS 30D and a Canon EOS 10D, all of which I still have and use as appropriate.

Feedback

Indoor museum-style photography is totally dependent on lighting, usually that provided in the exhibit itself. The key is to be very aware of what you see in your viewfinder and be sure to eliminate as much external reflection and background distraction (i.e.: "photobombs") as possible.
