Jim Galli modified Turner Reich-'Big Mag and Little Bulb'
OK I'm done..........for a while, with this Turner Reich. This is the last shot of 4 which I'll be putting on my personal website. I'll be giving this lens and myself a rest. I wonder if anybody else out there is like me, I get excited about a lens, work up a sweat doing shots over several days, even weeks, and then if I get close to what I want, I pause, and then realize that I'm mentally exhausted. I just got through spending 4 hours doing this shot/trying to get it right, and I have a headache.
I love playing around w/this magnifier and bulb, and felt I hadn't done them justice yet, and decided to try a very oblique angle in shooting them and with the bulb on top for a change. I've always been intrigued how light bounces off and through glass, and this magnifier has always represented a lens element to me, and the use of the Turner Reich just does it for me in conveying the elegance and mystery of glass.
This lens has style/panache.

Your use of light and the way this lens handles it is wonderful -- as always.

Hey Steve
Thank for the very kind words...........I'm glad the shot is over because I was 1hr+15 minutes trying to position the bulb on the magnifier with it continually sliding off. It had to be sitting on the exact center not to slide off, Chinese water torture.
What is always a trip about shooting glass, is that if you raise the camera, or lower/move to the right/move to the left, ever so slightly, I mean just a 'smidgeon', there's a different pattern of light bouncing through the glass. In trying to move the camera around to find an interesting pattern, I got plenty of exercise!!!
Take care
J, this is an exciting picture. Yes, I think elegant is the correct descriptor. Well done. I need to quit my real job and play with this stuff full time. Best, Jim
Hey Jim
Your comments are much appreciated, thanks. This lens can make the highlights glow, and the transition tends to be silky smooth to deep, dark, and rich blacks. On certain reflective subject matter like smooth metal, or glass, this lens makes the subject matter 'pop'.
