Default Odd looking lamps

Blue lamps

Hey everyone,

Took this photo of some wierd lamps I saw while I was out shopping for chistmas presents. The only thing I changed post process was the color temp, which originally was around 3100 giving it a warm yellowish glow. I personally liked the hard blue (around 2000) instead.

Would love to hear your comments. Thanks.

Very interesting lamp! I have never seen a lamp like this. I like the color temperature, though I would like to see what the original looks like. I like the sort of vignette around the edges. Overall an excellent photo.

This is a great capture. The tones of all of complex shadows are all very fluid. I'd be curious to know if there was anything lighting the lamp other than itself and if so what did you use?

Its not how big your camera is, its all about how you twiddle the dials.

Sorry for the late reply. Regarding lighting there was a little bit of ambient lighting, but overall the lamps themselves were the only real source of light present. The lamps had only one light bulp hanging inside the center of the lamp. This is what gave it that "vignetting-look".

I'll see if I can post the original picture, but right now christmas is upon us and I'm nowhere near home right now

Thanks for all your feedback. Have a merry christmas everyone (if you're celebrating christmas of course :-) )
