This week, the WordPress Photo Challenge is ‘Between’, and Ailsa has chosen ‘Shine’ for her Travel Theme this week.
So off to my recent Turkey Travels archive, and had a bit of a think about how to merge these two, but here we have glassblower holding a beautifully shiny piece of blown glass between his fingers (very deftly, it might be said):

They used to let us blow glass at school which strikes me as lethal in retrospect – can’t imagine they allow it now. Very strong image Sue.
Thanks, Robin, I was pleased with this image as I was practising a bit with depth of field! Allowing glass blowing at school certainly sounds lethal, but I can think of a few things we used to do in Chemistry which I’ll bet are off limits now 🙂
I adore this shot.
Thanks, Cee, I was pleased with it! 🙂
That is a fabulous shot Sue!! Perfect cropping!.
Thanks for your enthusiastic comment, Madhu! I had set myself some goals on that trip, and one was to get closer, and use depth of field to isolate/emphasise certain elements in a shot. 🙂
You did a great job!
🙂
Fascinating – very well captured… 🙂
Thanks Drake!
that is a brilliant image…and great editing
