Accepted to Korean Show

Good news recently: got accepted to the foreign potters exhibition at the annual Gangjin Celadon Festival. They selected 20 people to participate in the show. I have no idea how many people applied for acceptance, but I’m hoping it was more than 20….

Here are the pictures of work that I submitted. I recently bought the gradient and am very happy with it. The lighting are standard 500W halogen shoplights with thin foam sheets (think thin foam material for wrapping pots and glasses during moves) dangling in front, as diffusion screens. Sony camera is set to ‘One Set’ (hold up a white sheet of paper under the lights and take a reading to calibrate white balance) WB, and shutter is set to ISO priority mode. Setting this camera to ISO priority mode did the most to keep the pics clean while maintaining good color.

  1. Good job Mike!! Are you going to Korea for the show? I just got a new camera and am struggling with the colour thing.
    Really liking the biggish pots…you will have to teach me the Karatsu technique.

  2. Thanks Craig,

    It's funny when you say biggish, but then again yours are a heck of a lot bigger than these. Funny thing is even with these I'll bet I can't fit more than two in my kiln at once. Of course that will be changing shortly… heheh…

  3. Congrats for the show, and beautiful work as usual.
    Interesting informations on studio photografs.
