I needed to obtain some samples of clear glass with textures. The kind used to obscure showers, windows or bedroom windows. Any place you do not want people to be able to see through your glass windows. I had a shot in mind. It took me a while to find glass shops that carried those kind of samples. I was seeing more industrial-looking patterns, not rain, or swirls. Once back home, I had numerous spots to set up the shot. I wanted to “build” a glass house. Using silicone as a glue, it was taking too long to cure. So, I altered my shot to be close-ups of the textured glass. I added gels for intense colors, knowing they would reflect in the glass. My light source and “stage” was an old 5”x7” very portable light box. Perfect for the days we photographers would show transparencies. My lens was a Canon 100mm macro L. Handheld.
