Why is this series called: glass? Not just because I used glass camera lenses to take the photos…

But these are photos of glass… taken with a macro lens for super close up images…

Then I added a little digital filter magic…

But this time, I once again started with a kaleidoscope filter on the original photo before I did the other magic.

And I must say, I like the way these turned out.

Ooooh… stars within stars!

And that, my friends, is what happens when you take an image and use the regular kaleidoscope filter on it, and then put that image through the ‘kaleidoscoper’ filter. Oh yeah!

That up there is the original photo. It is a close up of this…

That ‘fire bowl’ I made in my glass blowing class… taken on a glass table… with a glass lens… so, uh, yeah… glass!
