The photo quality is bad, but it was better than yet another flower pic.
The photo quality on this one is pretty terrible. Wanna guess what’s going on? I’m not telling, but if the pic was better you might be able to figure it out. Maybe it’s a little more obvious than it seems to me that it would be. I didn’t plan on using this photo at all. In fact, when I shot it I was sure I wouldn’t use it, but I have tons of flower photos from today because I was doing tests with the white balance setting and seeing how it affected colors. I just gave you a flower a few days ago. I’m not going to start repeating myself within the first week of this mess. So, you get a really dark picture of…something.
Gen, thanks so much for all your comments. You rock.
My wife Jacqui and I have decided it’s a picture of someone heating glass in a furnace. It ‘s a good photo as it reminds me of most of the pictures of people doing hot work. Most of the photo is dark except for the very hot object, making it seem that much more hot.
It’s a flower on fire, isn’t it?
i thought too that it might be glass – that initial stage where they heat a lump of glass so then they can blow it out. though it may be the heating of metal to do something or other with. it involves heating – of this we can be sure.
Are we sure, Mel? ARE we? What if it’s that thing that was inside of Marcellus Wallace’s briefcase? We never found out what that thing was, did we? It was just an eerie glow….eerie…Eerie, Indiana…Tom lives in Indiana. Is there a connection here? Methinks so. Have I just made TV and movie reference that perhaps no one has picked up on? Perhaps. But it’s a chance I’m willing to take.
Wow, four comments from three different people! Bit of a record for me, or at least a really good day.
I’m sure the suspense is killing all of you. Genevieve was very close with the “burning flower” guess, but I’m afraid that Matt and Jacqui were the first in, plus being 100% on the money. Apparently, if you click on this thing and look at it, you can actually make out a bit more than I’d originally thought was visible. Who knew?
There’s an art center near my home, and I went over there to snap some flowers and look at some kinetic sculpture they had on display by George Rickey (Matt, you have to look him up now, ’cause he was cool), and they had a glass blowing/sculpting class in session. This guy was making a large vase, and the way I shot it you can only see the very bottom of it. It was probably two feet tall with the neck. Good sized. I’d love to try that myself…yeah, like I need to add another pursuit to the list!
Well done, kids! Thanks for weighing in with the guesses. Hopefully I’ll have some more fun ones like this for you in the future.
So what you’re saying is, we still have no idea what was in Marcellus Wallace’s briefcase.
That remains a mystery, Gen.
