Contrasting Installation


Contrasting Installation
Originally uploaded by DisHippy

My favorite part about this boat installation was the turquoise color of the boat itself. It really contrasted the warm colors of the glass very well. The lighting and weather that day were absolutely perfect so that definitely helped. So now I'll put it up to you guys. Do you want to see another shot of the boat? Or do you want to move to the next spot? Enjoy!

Lens: 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6

About the series
This series of shots were taken on 10-22-2010 at Cheekwood Botanical Garden. Dale Chihuly, world renowned glass artist, was having a garden exhibition where he installs pieces into the gardens to enhance the appeal of both the gardens and his work. This is the fifth Chihuly exhibition that I've gone to and the fourth that I've been able to shoot. I really enjoy the mixture of the glass and the gardens, and it makes for great photo opportunities.

"I love to juxtapose the manmade and the natural to sort of make people wonder, is it manmade or did it come from nature? That's a very important part of my work."
