Orange Glow

August 10, 2008 |

Orange is red brought nearer to humanity by yellow. - Kandinsky

There was just one light source at the back. The idea was to have a slice that was thick enough to rest on the orange, but thin enough to let the light through, and have some of the front of the orange visible. The darn slice kept falling off and started shrivelling up in the heat. Not fun.

    Maybe a toothpick would have been of some assistance! Great shot! :)

    Super Glue?

    In other ‘orange’ news, did you hear about the collapse of the Wall Arch? We were lucky to have seen it in June.

    that’s sad. i wish superglue would work on those arches.

    fevicol perhaps? and then you could have modified that famous line - yeh fevicol ka jod hai, girega nahi!

  14. Nithu on August 11, 2008 9:24 am

    That’s a lovely shot.

  15. Cham on August 11, 2008 9:42 am

    I can see Bee battling with the slice… U ve tons of patience. May be little triming to the slice, would ve worked? The light passing through is just amazing!

  16. vanamala on August 11, 2008 9:46 am

    Beautiful photography

  17. shilpa on August 11, 2008 9:48 am

    Thats the reason you should see RR’s show. She gives tips to make the orange stand :D. Cut a small piece at the bottom of the orange to make it stand :)).

    and how does she make a slice stand on an orange without appearing cut in a picture?

  18. Poonam on August 11, 2008 9:53 am

    This is a fantastic shot!

  19. rachel on August 11, 2008 10:31 am

    Wow…some patience to get it to balance…

  20. shilpa on August 11, 2008 11:15 am

    May be I missed that episode in which she mentioned that ;).

    Btw..I love the picture…too good.

  21. Uma on August 11, 2008 11:23 am

    Beautiful shot! :)

  29. DK on August 12, 2008 6:10 pm

    I think a toothpick would have helped too…a tooth pick cut in half and inserted very slightly.

    but it sure has come out looking good! I HAVE to send in my entry this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thinking!
