019: Light & Glass
A tower of glass and metal stands before you, radiating an eerie central glow through transparent walls of irregular detail. Imagine if any buildings actually looked like this close up - it would be fascinating, but you might wonder how stable the structure would be.It's actually the side of a lamp, made from a brickwork-like lattice of glass pieces held together with a lot of wire. An 11W CFL light sits in the centre, possibly biasing the colour output (although I still don't think it looks quite green enough.) The light falls off quite attractively at the edges, but not due to lens vignetting.
DA 18-55 (@26mm,) f/13, 1/10 sec. Postprocessed with +0.66 EV, some highlight compression, a little straightening and white balance adjustment. In hindsight, it may have also done well with a little added contrast.
