Bill:

There is an exhibit of his here in Chicago, but it is in the natural
setting of the Garfield conservatory:
http://www.garfield-conservatory.org/  I have visited the exhibit and
have made some preliminary photographs of my own.  I believe that I had
some Fuji 4-layer print film (not sure what it was - usually shoot
slides) that was ace!  Truth be told, I used the 85/2 the most as many
of the pieces are far enough away that you need that extra reach.  I
also pulled out the 135 a couple of times, as well as the 21, and 35
shift.

I have been slow getting these images on the web, but will go home
tonight and dig them out.  If you are shooting in a gallery, I would
again use one of the Fuji 4-layer films, and filter as necessary with
something less that an 80A.  The extra blue layer really does a lot to
balance color.  I have shot some portraits in incandescent lighting w/
this film with good results.  The only thing is that you need a
cooperative lab who will dial in the right amount of color correction if
you are just doing 4x6 prints.

Best luck, and be sure to let us know how it turns out!

An exhibit of glass work by Dale Chihuly is in town. They are allowing
cameras and tripods in the exhibit. So if I were to take photos what
would I use?

The pieces are displayed so that you can see both the piece and the
light transmitted through the piece. So I'll be taking pictures both of
reflected light and light transmitted through the art work.

My thoughts:

OM with spot meter; light meter; 21 F2, 28 F2, 50 F2, 90 F2; E100S; 80A
and polarizing filters; tripod; spare batteries.

For each piece: one set of bracketed exposures using ambient light
reading; one set with spot meter from highlight.

Am I on the right path? Any thoughts, reactions? Help?

Thanks in advance,

Bill Biesele.
