You are right, I had some difficult time when I was almost "out" from my life. Now it in past, I decided to find my way again and recover everything I like:) Also I'm finishing my dissertation now and spending some time with photonet make me feel relaxed and live:) Here I can express myself artistically, and it make me feel realized:) And I miss people I meet here, this net of communication and sharing of our visual impressions is really unique. Anyway, thank you for asking:)

For the visit.

I guess you've had your share of down times, as we all have. Rebounding is what the trick seems to be for survival and you seem to have taken charge. Glad to see you back and look forward to your uploads.

 

Best wishes.

Simple yet so fresh and pure, beautiful capture of the reflection.

Hi Cyrus! The blue channel seems pretty hot, was that to obtain the purely white of the flower?

All the Best for this Winter Season, Dave

Sorry for the delay in response as I was trying to locate the original raw file to examine the shooting conditions.
The photo was taken in high noon with a spot metering on the flower. The original file shows the presence of the deep blue taken at a temperature of 4850. I did turn down the temperature about 100 degrees to get the whiter tones on the flower but that did not change the amount of the blue by any significant amount.

My own explanation is that the that the direct light, ambient light, cast light and deeper shadows always have a different temperature and hence a slightly different color shift. I do use this property of light sometimes to create some background colors which visibly do not seem to be there. try this for instance in a room where the subject is in the light of a window facing south/west facing window. If your lens is pointed at the subject, lets say, at a 45 degree to the light source, with a low aperture you should be able to get a bluish background. in the case above, I think the presence of cooler water has also help produce the bluish tones.

Hope all that makes sense,

Best regards.
