Angel Wing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Divine Intervention?<\/h3>\n

Whether it was by divine intervention or pure serendipity, the image \u2018Angel Wing\u2019 was certainly one of a kind. It all began when I was doing the housework. Now I wouldn\u2019t exactly call doing the housework awe inspiring, but it did lead to an unexpected discovery.<\/p>\n

\"The
Original glass vase used for ‘Angel Wing’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was time to do some dusting and when I tidied the top of our bookshelf in the lounge, I came across this blue vase. I must have been in a quizzical mood (not my usual mood for dusting!) because I began to turn the vase in my hand and examine it in closer detail.<\/p>\n

\"Bottom
Bottom of the vase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wanting some better light, I ventured closer to the lounge window and continued my observations. Turning the vase upside down revealed fascinating and compelling swirling patterns and shapes, and beautiful shades of blue. Needing no excuse to completely abandon my housework, I grabbed my camera!<\/p>\n

\"Experimenting
First attempts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My first attempts looked much like this shot. I enjoyed exploring the \u2018liquid\u2019 qualities of the reflections through the bottom of the glass, but wanted to move in even closer. The decision to use my macro lens was a good one as it allowed me a more subtle approach and the resulting shots took on a more \u2018impressionistic\u2019 feel.<\/p>\n

\"Taking
Small defects in the glass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then purely by accident, I stumbled upon a couple of unusual defects in the glass. Near the rim were two ridged sections which only became fully apparent when viewed through the macro lens.<\/p>\n

\"Exploring
Fascinating ridges<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This one in particular caught my eye. Reminding me of some ancient, fossilised formation, these tiny ridges captured my imagination and became the focus of my shoot from then on. Unfortunately, they were rather difficult to photograph and finding the right combination of lighting, angle of view and position in the frame was challenging to say the least!<\/p>\n

My Good Fortune<\/h3>\n

Sometimes, by good fortune rather than good design, everything just comes together perfectly for one special shot…in a moment it\u2019s there and the next it\u2019s gone, no matter how many times you try to reproduce it.<\/p>\n

\"Original<\/a>
Original ‘in camera’ image for ‘Angel Wing’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is how it was for \u2018Angel Wing\u2019 \u2013 Lady Luck must have been smiling on me in that one instant. I must have serendipitously held the vase at just the right angle so the light shone through, illuminating the ridges and capturing a beautiful, ethereal blue aura.<\/p>\n

During the entire photo shoot, this was the only shot that truly caught the mystical qualities and inner magic which I was searching for. I was extremely happy and knew instantly that it was \u2018the one\u2019. I had found my \u2018Angel Wing\u2019 or perhaps it had found me.
