The Garden (Part 2)

Images to complement and contrast the previous post; shot at the same time, but edited to create a very different effect.

Flowers on the Table

Just what the title says. Nothing about these images was 'set up'. I simply recorded ostensibly mundane scenes in order to present them in a slightly different light.
The blue tone of the first image, although slightly modified in PS, was captured in-camera by setting the white balance to 'tungsten'.
I never shoot black and white in-camera though. Doing so limits your options in two ways:

Firstly, the camera determines how the various colour are rendered into black and white. You can take some control back with filters, but more glass (or plastic) in front of your sensor risks reducing the quality of the image slightly.

Secondly, You might like the image in colour as well as black and white, when you see it on a big screen. Converting images from colour to black and white is easy, but if you discard the colour data in-camera, you cannot get it back.

Three Colours: Blue

A brief update this, featuring 3 more images from the weekend still life session at the Nottage. Nothing particularly unusual or quirky about these shots - they're just an example of how simple can be pleasing too (IMO). Shot with a macro lens and window light, late afternoon.
