DIPTYCH: SHINE

Posted on 10 March 2010 at 8:40 pm in Photography.

Just as my first contribution to this project, my photo for this week’s diptych was taken at my current place of work, the California Academy of Sciences. However, unlike that abstract image (which was an underwater angle of the penguin tank), this one is immediately recognizable to anyone who’s been inside the building: it’s the massive glass sphere, containing a four story rainforest and hundreds of free-flying butterflies, an iconic image of the institution. This is merely one angle of it, highlighting the combination of natural and unnatural light shining inside.

My partner Nicole’s take on the subject is obviously quite different. The joy of the diptych.

    I absolutely LOVE the difference in “intake” of shine. TOTALLY love it. :)

    Ooh I like them both. Everyone else’s shininess was so much shinier than mine.

    Both of these images are amazing. Well done! I have to tell you though, I don’t appreciate being outdone on my own project! You just might force me to step up my game and actually get out of this apartment, and we just can’t have that! ;)
