Default Chihuly @ Desert Botanical Garden, AZ

Here are just a few of my shots I wanted to share from the Chihuly Exhibit displayed at the Desert Botanical Garden here in Phoenix, AZ. It was absolutely stunning, and although my pictures don't do it any justice, I hope you enjoy!

Nice series. I like the overflowing boat in your last shot.

I LOVE CHIHULY! Those pictures turned out great! I just took some Chihuly pictures myself at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. If only I could afford something that he's made...

Thank you so much for all the encouraging feedback! I'm still learning, so I love hearing what you all have to offer with your experience! Although, Chihuly is a pretty amazing subject to shoot, so don't think I could've messed it up too much!

uridiscence - I would love to see your pics from Vegas, I wish I could afford his stuff as well! Its so funny, I'm originally from WA state and had no idea that the new blown glass studio / museum in downtown Tacoma was his and that he's from there until I went to see this exhibit! Now I'm hooked

The colours and angle in the last one makes it my fav.
Wonderful
