Undaunted by, but inspired by Trev's post featuring some of the glass sculpture on Murano, I have decided to upload some of my images taken of the amazing lighting they create there, by hand. We visited one of the factories and the background to the montage is an image of the furnace which seemed appropriate. V2 shows one of the artists at work. The rest speak for themselves, I hope.

Anyway, thanks for looking and I hope you like some of them.

Great set Lynne, never got over there this time, but have in the past and know how difficult these were to capture
V1 and also just love the V7 ...I need a few thousand to spare for that one though! Wink

I do love chandeliers but I'd not be able to hang any in my house as we'd be decapitated in no time.

Some spectacular looking glassware there, Lynne, all so well documented in this very fine set: like them all, especially your presentation of some in V 1.......clever work, way beyond my capabilities, but full marks to you.

I recall on our day when I was there Lynne,it happened to be the hottest weather for years.I was about collapsing with the heat inside the factory.And I did collapse after the visit when they took us to the shop and I saw the prices !! I don't fancy one of these chandeliers anyway.Would cost a fortune getting all these 60 watt bulbs out of Morrisons to keep them going.And my wife would be constantly at me to hold the ladder steady when she is cleaning it.She would want one though.One of her favourite songs is Crystal Chandeliers by Sidney Devine.If she is that keen,he can hold the ladder for her while she is cleaning it,while he is serenading her with the song.That is if he is still alive.I have not heard from him in a while.Would just be my luck that he is suffering from athritis and is incapable to grip my ladder !!

You would have to go one better than me, Lynne! Wink Seriously though, that's a super montage in V1, and the set really does show off the wonderful chandeliers so well. Those in V4 & V7 look rather familiar! Wink I did get a couple of images of these in our hotel, but they ain't as good as yours Sad

Magnificent work, both by the expert workers at the factory and by you in recording them so well, Lynne. Lighting wasn't a problem, I guess...no flash needed.
Love what you have put together in V1.

Brilliantly done montage in V1, Lynne, and superb individual shots of those chandeliers. My favourite image is V2, though. Fantastic. Followed very closely by V4.

Excellent Ps work Lynne. V1 is superb, I would love to be able to produce something as good as that. V3 is a lovely chandelier very well photographed and is my favourite after V1.

Super montage Lynne. Love these shots of the chandeliers, personally I don't like them - prefer modern stuff. These are too 'schizy' for my tastes, but my husband would love them. My favourite of this set has to be V2. These guys are certainly true craftsmen. Moira
