| | | Stained Glass
Now I've figured how to satisfactorily photograph stained glass, I thought I'd post some of my wife's work:    
They're all 300-400mm dia and made of leaded stained glass.

They're excellent, Jim. Your wife is extraordinarily gifted. I love the way the four seasons are represented so beautifully.

Oh! I don't know, stained glass commands a high price. Mind you it's probably expensive to make them

Radio controlled flash - 2 meters - large sheet of white paper - 200mm - stained glass - 3 meters - camera. All in one line.
The flash was pointed at the sheet of paper (towards the camera) to illuminate it evenly and backlight the stained glass.
I first tried using a purpose made 1 meter circular fabric diffuser, but there were interference effects from the embossed texture of the flash window and the fabric weave, which created a bright 'star' on the diffuser.
I hope this is clear!
