Saw a posting on the Northwest Houston Photo Club about a glass blowing demonstration at the Glassblowing Houston studio in Tomball Texas on FM 2920, about 8 or 9 miles from my home.
So off we went for a cool afternoon visit at their studio. The glass blowing objective was a 12 inch fish. The images I am posting do not show step by step but just some of them. The fins were basically completed the day before and kept in an oven so there was not a temperature shock when it is applied at the demo.
Again used my Sony A7 III with the 24 - 240 mm lens. Debated which lens to carry, but not knowing how close I could get I settled on my trusty 24-240, this lens is a Full Frame lens so there is no crop factor, what you see is what you get. Here are some images I got, and because it was crowded all are hand held.
