I was having a play with the Canon TS-E 24mm lens this morning because I forgot to swap it from yesterdays outing. Which reminds me I still have Home and Away part two to sort out. Never mind it will do for tomorrow, today you can look at some peculiar flowers.
OX-EYE DAISY.
CREEPING BUTTERCUP?
GRASS.
DANDELION.
FOX and CUBS.
DO NOT KNOW.
That’s the lot, have a good week.
They seem pretty arty to me.... especially that last one, that's a dandy.
ReplyDeleteBill, I'll have another go, There is room for improvement.
DeleteMost stand out well against the b/w and muted backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteJohn, getting rid of the last of the colour in the background is the bit that takes the time.
DeleteFabulous job on these flowers.
ReplyDeleteMarie, I think the job is worth another play.
DeleteGood job, I like a bit of colour popping, never seen it done in yellow before.
ReplyDeleteJay, I can do it with any colour but green on green is much more time consuming.
Deletebeautiful flowers on a B&W background ! love this
ReplyDeleteMarty, I'll try again for a more complex look. I think it is worth investigating further.
DeleteNothing wrong with arty, Adrian. They are lovely, I especially like the Do Not Know, or the Dandy as Bill called it.
ReplyDeletePauline, there is if I'm not arty. I'm more of a technician.
DeleteBeautiful flowers. And I like also the B/W background.
ReplyDeleteOrvokki, It's a long time since I did colour popping.
DeleteI had an app on my ipad that takes takes all the colour out and then you can ad some colour in again, whatever you want but these are good especially the last one
ReplyDeleteMargaret, I have never had an ipad but I was looking at a Mac Pro tower a couple of weeks ago. Very nice and the displays are superb the 5k one was stunning. The price is ridiculous at getting on for £5000.00p by the time ones added the extras and storage and that is cheap storage. It would take a fast amount of editing to justify the expenditure.
DeleteThe last two are my favourites I think. The colours really popping out of the b&w.
ReplyDeleteMonica, it was an idea I had. Just a bit of fun.
DeleteI like the fact you've swapped the background to black and white it makes the flowers more vibrant.
ReplyDeleteDouglas I did another couple this morning and spent a bit of time on them. I'll may be show them later.
DeleteThe colours of the flowers really pop with the backgrounds being black & white. Nice job!!
ReplyDeleteLynda, I have done another couple but spent time on them. I'll post them today and see if I can find something to go with them.
DeleteThe technique works particularly well with those last two images, Adrian. It's pssibly because they both have a large splash of bright colour. Great stuff, and more inspiration for your readers.
ReplyDeleteRichard colour popping also works well for urban scenes.
