Magic Chalice

Painting with light - magic chalice.

The pictures of the „magic chalice” I took at home, on the table. I used a black cloth as a background, together with a black shirt. The shirt was used to create an effect of a folded surface on which the chalice stands. As a source of light I used a glow stick (colourful tubes with a shiny fluid inside, used as bracelets during parties). The pictures were taken with a Pentax K100D Super camera with a function „bulb exposure” on, which gave me control over how long I can move the tubes. I chose many colours of sticks. The effect I got by moving the tubes around the chalice is a colourful mist, the tubes inside the chalice created a beam of light reaching out of it and the tubes that were moved around the folded shirt gave an effect of roughness of the surface and mist surrounding the chalice. I did not edit the photos in Photoshop because I thought it to be needless.
