About the Image(s)

This “Tiffany” lampshade was donated to my Thrift Shop. I bought it because it is too pretty to be left behind. My husband turned a new lamp from maple. It sits on the glass tray of my grandmother’s tea table. Its soft gentle light warms up the whole living room. Shot at f/5.6. 1/320 sec, ISO 800. I copied the lamp to its own layer. Used curves to bring out a little detail in the background. Intensified the colors with hue/saturation sliders (individual colors. On a merge copy I used NIK Define to reduce noise. Finally added a narrow stroke to make it stand out from our black background. There is no original version because the difference is very small.
