Cem, how did I miss your chair? It's gorgeous! How did the auction come out?
It's gorgeous! How did the auction come out?“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

Some recent yov art:
"Good Vibrations"
"What Envious Eve"
Both of these are permanent marker on glass. The glass doesn't seem to photograph well but I'm particuarly proud of "Eve", which came out very beautifully and almost just how I imagined it.
(I almost hate showing these online because they look so much better in person.)

Yov, permanent marker on glass seems to give an interesting effect, nice work.
I noticed there is some glare. Have you experimented with ways to photograph the pieces to avoid such problems?
I did some pieces recently to accompany a new batch of poetry.
Here is something I worked up to accompany a poem about a Minister having nightmares. It is done in Microsoft Paint, nothing fancy, but I thought that the final image was interesting in itself, apart from the connection to the poem.
There are others in the poetry thread, mostly of a more whimsical nature.

I've fooled around with my digital camera quite a bit but I know nothing about cameras and can't seem to get any good results. If you have any suggestions, they'd be much appreciated!BrianIsSmilingAtYou wrote:I noticed there is some glare. Have you experimented with ways to photograph the pieces to avoid such problems?

It is a difficult thing, Yov.
I would think that soft, even, diffuse light (from a natural source, if possible) would be best.
Avoid the use of a flash.
See if it is possible to mount the camera on something stable (such as a tripod or something that could serve as a substitute), and use a longer exposure to compensate for low light, if needed. Using a stable mount will make up for the possible blurring that could be caused by a longer exposure.
If you can't do a long exposure manually, many digital cameras have "night" settings, which involve a long exposure. You would need to dim the flash, however, which is usually standard for that setting.
I'm sure that other folks on here could give you better advice than me, but these are some of the things that I have done when taking pictures under similar circumstances.

Newly completed piece o' art from me entitled "Katydid!". Getting a clean image of my marker-on-glass stuff has proved to be a pain so I'm doing it like this:
Me with the pic so you can see the size and how the glass looks.
The only clear glare-free photo I was able to get.
A composite of scans with my scanner.
