Light Table

blogvotive-holders.jpg

Over the weekend I made something called a light-table. It’s essentially a box with lights inside and an opaque surface on top. I used two 100w daylight bulbs. After seeing the result I think I’ll change it to four 60w bulbs. It will give me a more even toned, larger  background.

This is actually a stack of colored votive candle holders I’d purchased for another project.  There was enough light coming up from the light-table that I was able to hand hold this at 1/100 of a second f5.6. Being directly over the table I wasn’t able to use a tripod.

I think this could be fun!

Dome construction Theatine church, Munich, Germany

The Theatine church is the first baroque church in Munich.  The 233 feet high dome was finished in 1690. Words can hardly express what I felt inside this church. Originally it was a gift and expression of gratitude of Ferdinand Maria and his wife for the birth of their son.

Happy photographing
