The Glass: Comments and Critiques Please

[D-B-J]

And The Setup: Using 2 SB600's to the right, into one reflective umbrella, 4 packs of lights (2 each side), one glass, and tether capture in LR3 to my Macbook Pro, and a Nikon D7000 with an SU800 and 80-200 2.8 lens.

Have you thought about putting some white posterboard or panels to the right and/or left of the glass? That way you get the reflection in the edge of the glass to add a bit of definition.

As it is, very cool shot. Obviously well thought out, executed well, and a cool idea all the way around. Nicely done.

Wow, thank you very much. At first i wanted to shoot like the bokeh was pouring out of the glass, i just wasn't pleased with it. And yeah, i was fooling around with the settings and "posing of the glass" for at least an hour. But i'm glad you like it.

use a macro, and the bokeh circle will even be crazier

I played around with different lenses, and for me, this was my favorite.

Sigh.. my xmas light is built into the faux tree. Too lazy to take it out .

Luckily i found the bag of ten bundles in the basement. Didn't even have to go to the attic!

While you are at it, go make some shaped bokeh!

Nahhhh, thanks for the offer though!

Looking at your setup it seems the christmas lights on the left are a tad closer which is making the left side OOF lights a tad brighter. You got the symetry going with placement. I would like to see the shot with equal brightness(bokeh) and add Kerbouchard's advice and it may set it off!

Thanks! Yeah i noticed that, but i left it as i kinda liked the perfect symmetry yet not absolutely perfect. Kinda a subtle tension in the photo.
