January 2025 - Framed Hydrangea
About the Image(s)
Single shot. Photo frame hung from makeshift structure in the garage.
Really tricky to light, the golden frame was so bright it appeared to 'shine' into the darkness which was a pain. Doing similar in infra red I had the same problem - outer glow - any ideas how to solve appreciated (other than doing a composite).....
Anyway, effect here not too bad! Take at:f.3, 3.2 sec, aperture priority, iso 200.

Perhaps you could expose for the frame and then lift the shadows. Or use a different coloured frame. Why not ask the chair at your local camera club they are usually very knowledgeable! Posted: 01/08/2025 21:15:36

Hi Judith
What a brilliant idea for an image and wonderfully carried out the bright frame does not over bother me as the flower on the left side is quite bright and the brightness contrasts so well with the muted tones of the vase and background.
For me it is something different and so works. Posted: 01/11/2025 15:06:24

Thankyou! Posted: 01/13/2025 08:18:31
Absolutely love your composition, most creative - in my VF I played around a bit and wanted your thoughts, I felt the vase itself was too muted and blended into the background - just a suggestion. Posted: 01/12/2025 21:12:10
I have changed my mind on the above - I was looking at the image on a 7" inch screen in bad light - duh! I'm on my computer screen now, You might consider brightening but I think the composition is brilliant - great creative stil life Posted: 01/13/2025 04:03:00
Thanks Butch. Appreciated. I will tinker with brightening a little. I do like what you did! :) Posted: 01/13/2025 08:20:11
I like your image. I especially like your tying the photo to the current time with the flower o the frame. I would work on the frame and hydrangeas by selecting them in individual layers so I can work on them independently. You can darken the frame and brighten the hydrangeas. Posted: 01/15/2025 00:14:15
