Hey everyone! Long time, no post. Inpired by one of my photography profs, I've decided to do a picture of the day! Here's my first!
Photo of the Day Jan 1 Amaryllis Angel
How in the world did I get to that? You ask.
Well, we have this beautiful Amaryllis plant that just came into this beautiful full bloom with two flowers.
From the side, I kind of think it looks like a butterfly. Originally I was going for something like this, in black and white.
Because my shutter speed was quite low in order to get the glowing petal effect that I was looking for, I ended up with this blur. And loved it. I duplicated the blur on the same settings, 1/2 sec at f5.6 while shaking the camera quickly back and forth.
I ended up with a 4sec shutter with an f10 in order to get the final image, I used the on camera flash in order to freeze a bit of the flower and held as still as I could for a second then did very small jiggles to get the final glowing/butterfly effect that I was looking for.
I posted a little article and slideshow about Amaryllis' on my examiner page.
Enjoy!
