Rainbow in the Sky<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

This shot isn\u2019t an atmospheric phenomenon, and it isn\u2019t even the sky, but it\u2019s named Rainbow In The Sky. It\u2019s a picture of a prop plastic ice cube. I took it with a 4X5 Toyo camera, a Zeiss Luminar (63mm) and about a yard of bellows. Effectively this is a microscope. By the time you make a 13 inch wide print of this the magnification is much more than 100x. I do a lot of work with microscopes of various kinds, please check out (www.siskinphoto.com\/magazine\/zpdf\/microscope.pdf<\/a>) on the magazine page on my website and these are links to blog articles I\u2019ve done on close up work and micrography:

I really like working with the microscope; it\u2019s like going on a safari to an unknown land. You never know when something as mundane as a prop plastic ice cube will turn out to be fabulous. I still remember seeing this image appear on the ground glass, absolutely stunning! I\u2019ll also be posting pictures of butterfly wings and all sorts of interesting microscopy images as I work on the fine art pages of my website. I hope you\u2019ll continue to watch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to buy a digital print of this image, mounted and matted on archival cotton rag board, please use the PayPal link below. The image will be about 13 inches wide mounted on 16X20 board. The price includes shipping in the United States, for other countries please ask first.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThis image, and many others, is also available in my book B-Four<\/a>. You can look at the book at this link<\/a>, and order it as well. I hope you\u2019ll take a look at the book.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to be using my blog to add information about images to the fine art pages of my site. This part of the site isn\u2019t functioning yet, but it will be. These posts will enable me to put up information about the shot and to add details about buying prints. I think it\u2019s very useful to talk about the details of creating specific images. I hope to hear from you about this-use my e-mail to let me know: john@siskinphoto.com<\/a>. Of course I hope you\u2019ll also want to buy some prints. I\u2019ll be offering more types of prints in the future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
