Classic beauty... and contrary to what many people believe, a Tiffany lamp is nothing to do with the jewellery company of the same name – nor indeed, the perpetually elegant Ms Holly Golightly. Instead, it’s meticulously designed and handmade by the company founded by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1943), an American artist and designer noted for his work in Art Nouveau stained glass. He created his first lamp in 1895 or thereabouts – and the rest, as they say, is history.
I photographed this short set of images, with the manager’s permission, at the Tiffany shop in the Starhill Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – quite the most upmarket shopping mall I’ve ever visited.
While camping this weekend at Naples KOA Campgroud, I finally dragged myself out of bed around 5 am, the morning after the supermoon, to head down to the causeway of Long Lake and hopefully catch some interesting clouds. Unfortunately, no clouds were to be found. Looking around for something to work with so my early morning efforts weren't a total bust, I noticed the full moon still visible in the sky. Noticing the lamp posts which lined the boardwalk of the causeway, I suddenly had the idea of composing the moon to appear as a globe of the lamp. Shooting two separate frames to ensure both the lamp and the moon were in focus, I merged them in post for the final image. #Naples #Maine #moon #supermoon
A test, really - this is literally the first shot I took with the new RF 50mm f1.8 STM, taken wide open and deliberately nearer than the minimum focussing distance. The bokeh is way smoother than the EF version, to put it mildly - this isn't much processed apart from noise reduction and almost flat b&w conversion.
. . . from my "hand*book journal archives" and #2 on the Everyday Matters Challenge list. The shade on this lamp gives off a beautiful amber glow. . . I just never realized the lamp was so "prissy" til I actually looked at it during the sketching process!! I still like it, though :-)
Had a walk round the Elizabethan walls of berwick the other morning and took this as the sun came up through this street lamp.
