Elephantitus - a photo on Flickriver

Elephantitus

            This is my fourth and final attempt at shooting this stampede. Glass is difficult at the best of times, but these are close together in an indoor situation where tripods and flash are not allowed :-)

To get enough depth of field needs a tight aperture which is difficult with the available light. In addition, opaque subjects are notoriously difficult to focus (both manual and automatic) and here it is manual.

This successful attempt was made possible by my newly acquired Panasonic LX7 replacing my old faithful LX3 P&S. The model shown here says LX5, but that is my trick to get around Adobes sneaky attempts to force me to upgrade Photoshop, but more on that another day.

There is another shot down below of the room, but unfortunately, the glass doesn't show very well.

Tiffany Chung commissioned a glass artisan in her home town Ho Chi Minh City to create multiple animals that comprise her work "Roaming with the dawn - snow drift, rain falls, desert wind blows".

These disparate animals move together in a great wave of migration.

Tiffany has concerns for social issues in Vietnam including significant effects of conflict, migration and environmental degradation. The hand made animals suggest a way of life that is fast disappearingin the face of mass production and over development, evoking a sense of movement, evolution and progress.

Let There Be Light Challenge - I wish. this shot is all about light as it plays tricks through the glass, and difficult to get enough DOF due to light levels.
