Shop
I was on a bit of a crusade to find and photograph some antique fixtures and was not having much luck until I visited B&B Hardware {Long Beach, California), which specializes in items for historic home restoration. I became fascinated with a bin full of glass doorknobs (childhood reminiscences of my grandmother’s house) and was fortunate that the shop owners were happy to let me take as many photos as I wished. (Olympus E-5 & Zuiko 50mm macro, f/5, 1/25 sec., ISO 1600, mixed incandescent and daylight, handheld) Texture from Leslie Nicole’s French Kiss Textures

Beautiful image Celeste….Almost surreal looking in the POV and lighting…..
Thanks very much, Thomas! There was incandescent room light plus outdoor light through a window, and all of that was bouncing around in the faceted glass of this doorknob and the others around it. Surreal is a good word for it. :)
