'Chalice' Ver1

Wanna know how this was shot?

Pretty ordinary really... No studio, no lights, no nothing... Just natural high contrast winter light in london, channelled like this by the windowframes in my parents' home...

 

This same light pattern has always fascinated me - and I always intended to photograph something in it, only there was never the right subject handy...

 

Well this one morning, for no reason other than random chance, this artesan glass was sitting there instead of in the cupboard... Well, rather the reason being someone had got it out, not used it and left it there!

 

One by one, my father, sister and brother descended upon the kitchen to find me dozy looking (just got up) playing with my lenses and moving the cup around for a good 15minutes - chasing the rays...

 

I think they were amazed at the kind of patience I can display with an inanimate object, but not with them! LoL!

I had a good holiday visiting them anyway...
