After completing my image which adressed the idea of transparency using the lightbulb, I felt that the topic could be explored further by using a denser material which would manipulate and reflect colors in a more dramatic way. For this photo, I used a glass dolphin with a blue filling within it, similar to the material which marbles are composed of. By waiting until sunset, and placing the objet on a table which still had faint sunlight on it, a collection of beautiful blue and white lights appeared. Not only was there distortion of colors, but the object showed a great variety in levels of transparency For example, while the tail nearly blends in completely to the blue paper below it, the dolphin's head creates a strong contrast. While this was a great photograph showing transparency, it was clearly too complex to be depicted in a reasonable amount of time. As a result, I decided to crop a small portion of the photo which had the fin and the blue light, which shows transparency in an abstract and interesting way by appearing on its own. There are many interesting fine lines of color and and generally glossy texture. On the inside of the dolphin there is a white faded highlight which will be challenging to represent. The collection of blues, whites, and grey will provide a fascinating composition, which I plan to depict using colored pencils.
