Marching Into Spring.
'Marching Into Spring'- see what I did there?! 😁 It may not yet be officially spring but the weather seems to be brightening up; flowers are beginning to grow and the temperature seems to be slowly rising. As I have not written a post "Photography-based" in an AGE, I decided that the change of season would be a great excuse to!
I LOVE to take photos, however, I know that I am not an expert. There's always room to improve, though, right!? That's why I think this spring is going to be great fun for taking photos of new wildlife and ever-changing landscapes. My photography has been mostly limited to the indoors this winter as the weather has been freezing❄. So now it's getting warmer, I'm going to leap at the chance to spend more time outside, taking photos.
To kick-start my springtime photography, I decided that I would try my hand at something a little bit different to my usual photos. As you can see from the first photo in the post, I selected a few spring-related objects and some other bits and bobs that I thought would go well. My kitchen table went with the objects, too, so that's where I chose to take the photos. Next, I arranged the leaves and confetti so that they were well distributed across the surface, added the string and finally laid down the flowers into their position.
I was really pleased with this arrangement as it was a bit different to my normal photos yet it fitted so well with this post! I found that as it was positioned directly next to a window with tons of natural light, it was not necessary for the flash or else it ended up like this:
Also, as I experimented, I discovered that if you held a piece of coloured tissue paper, up, against the flash, the effect was really cool. The photo I was taking wasn't necessarily the best for the effect, for instance, a lit candle in a dark room with the orange tissue paper might work better than this arrangement. In addition, you could put the tissue paper over half the flash- it might give an interesting result. Maybe, put two or more colours across it. When I tried this with two colours (bearing in mind I didn't do it that accurately- there was a gap in the middle) it left a slight tinge of each colour on each side. Furthermore, when I covered half of it, there was no difference to a normal photograph with flash. Blue and pink had no effect.

I particularly like the muted colour effect from putting tissue in front of your lens - my favorite is purple!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it!
DeleteThank you! If you wanted to, I'm sure you'd be able to take photos a million times better than I can!
