Seadhead - Another View

Gallery: FloraPosted January 13, 20041,719 views5 comments

We had a little light fluffy snow about a week ago. I went out to the garden to work with my gold reflector again. This is another shot of the same seedhead I posted a couple weeks ago. I'm not obsessed with this particular seedhead (no, really). It's just that it's located near the edge of a shadow so I can get the blue shade and still throw light on the subject with the reflector.

Nikon F100, 200/4 macro, Velvia, tripod, gold reflector.

Cheers,

Hi Mark. I like this shot and the previous version. Have you tried coming against the back of the plant with the reflector? I'm just curious on how a golden backside would look with the blue still in the upper background. (Just thinking out loud.)

Mark,

Illumination looks really nice. The dark blue background contrast nicely with the green leaves. The blue almost looks like sky, infact I thought it was at first. The vertical composition was the perfect choice, nice job.

Mark - As much as I try to keep up with your images - this one slipped by me. A big congrats to you and the Ed. Pick - this is a well deserving image.
