This is one of the first ’still life’ photographs that I took the time to set up, each time I do something like this it gets easier, this took several hours. Getting the sparks right, when the beer had a good head on it and the glass was in focus (note to self: mark the location of any item you may have to move). It taught me an important lesson, patience and going slow is really faster.

I got my inspiration from a photo of a man welding on a high rise and liked the effect of the sparks. Not having a welder myself I improvised with a  grinder and piece of wire and some beer. No I didn’t drink all the beer I used.

One of the elements of photographic design is that you don’t center the subject in a photograph. So much for following the rules. The great thing about breaking photographic ‘rules’ is nothing bad happens and often something good.

This is of course a reflection of the walkway and sunset (looking towards the east) in a very still lake.
