Steel bloom

[vanguard]

Me and the wife went around some local charity shops  Saturday ,I picked up this little varse thinking it potential for a still life image. Following my stupidity expensive 20p varse I found a odd little chopping board which broke the bank as well lol. At home I really couldn’t think of anything I wanted to take an image of with these things. Stupid o’clock Sunday morning I can’t sleep but I do get some inspiration for image, 2am and I’m welding up a steel flower lol. If the neighbours look out of their window they would of seen me setting up my camera and lights. The joys of coming off night shifts, but at least I put the time to good use

Gosh you went to a lot of trouble there Van ... When you mentioned welding I imagined  a ghostly blue light emanating  from your abode ....  which  prompted me to think this might be considered a bloomin' bolt from the blue  !!   ...But I thought better of it .. There's a lot I like about it ... I think I  may have considered a  crisper definition  of the glass at the stem part of the vase   ...  I like the concept  and your impressive welding too ...

I’ve nice little workshop/ studio and to much spare time on my hands lol. I think your right about a more crisper version, the more I look at it the more I want to retake the image. I’m making more steel flowers in the next couple of weeks, I may of started yet  another project

Oh I hope you do try it again ... it has the makings of a really first class  still life ...  I  like the idea of experimenting with various angles and amounts of light  too ...I will watch  out for some  more variations on this theme so to speak ...
