9-23: Balloon Prism

On September 23, 2009, in photo365, photography, by Dan Perovich

1/160 @ f/1.8, ISO 400, 50 mm (EF50mm f/1.8 II)  Today was a very busy day for me.  With work, my fiancée’s birthday, and helping my friend run some ethernet wires in his new home, I was not left with much time for an elaborate photo shoot.  However, what I was able to capture was the interesting lighting patterns coming off of the mylar birthday balloon that my fiancée got from her sister.  I took the photograph using available light only.  It is that same available light seen being refracted on the balloon’s shiny surface.  I post-processed the image to bring out the colors as much as possible and eliminate as much background as possible.
