It is yet another occasion when the weather is uninspiring so I experimented with a further flower shot. Having tried a high key effect for the first time the other day, I was keen to have another go and achieve something a bit different. The initial high key settings emphasised the yellow centre of the bloom a bit too much for my liking, so I added some split toning to include some blue and green.
The opportunities presented by flower photography has been one of the surprises of my PAD project to date as it is not something which I have previously considered and is not typical of my previous output. I like that I do not have to limit myself to straight representation of the flowers and it is certainly proving to be a useful fill in for days when shooting outdoors does not have much appeal.
