At the museum again and found all these shiny lamps, there was so much dust everywhere else, but the lamps were all clean and shiny. I asked the older gentleman how come and he said in the Winter he takes them all home and washes them up six at a time. I couldn't believe they stayed so shiny. Thought they would make a neat photo.

The older gentleman was taking them home to see if any of them still had genies in them. That's why they are so polished.
A lovely shelf full of lamps, Carol. A nice softness in your photo. A nice find.

The difference between a bad artist and a good one is: the bad artist seems to copy a great deal; the good one really does. ~William Blake

Your work as a photographer just continues to thrive and bloom, Carol. Like Wendell said there's a softness to this shot. Not sure how you did it, but this one's a keeper.

Everything is so clear and shiny. I like the angle on this. I think the softness may be from some noise removal? Just a guess. I love the pastels colors in the glass.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.

An interesting capture, Carol. Love the shine to the old lamps as well as their reflections. Very well done.

I'd be afraid to go near that exhibit. With my two left feet, I might stumble and knock them over. Fantastic shot, Carol.
