I was at Six Flags yesterday and spent a few moments watching their glass sculptor. I could watch this guy all day long. He was making a dragon while I was watching. The overall image is a tad soft. I think I was wide open at something like f/2.8 or so with my 70-200, and I was about 7' away which gave me a DOF of inches. Still, I like the way that the glass and the flame interact and the overall color.
Another shot from my day at Six Flags. I love looking for repeating patterns and trying to do something creative by managing DOF. I saw these bears at one of the games and had to try and do something with them. Plus, I kind of like the positioning of this particular bear.
Very nice man. I love the color of the Dragon. The flame and the glass give it something very unique.

Thanks, Hat. I played with it a bit in PS and gave the glass blower a printed 8x10 copy of it. His reaction made it well worth the effort. Here's what the final image looks like:
In case no one remembers, I did the image below of this same glass blower about 1 year ago. Again, his reaction was very cool.
Very, very cool. I'm sure when people will see that new image, he'll beam with pride that it's his work.
