Calla Colours

[Paul Iddon]

I have gotten a Calla lily or two from the local florists to see what I could come up with.

I don't think they are the best Calla's but at £2.50 a throw, I didn't fancy going to a main florist to pay their prices just to get a better one.

Anyway, first up is a heavy lightroom edit, in so much as I used the colour eyedropper to deliberately change the colour of the petals, and then used a high pass filter and then some nosie reduction to smooth that sharpening out.

Finally, I used one of Mike W's action to make the triptych frame and put the three colours into one image.

C&C always appreciated.

Pretty cool, but they look just slightly underexposed. Was this intentional?

[Paul Iddon]

KInda, yeah. I'd rather keep to much brightness out, though having said that, tey don't look underexposed on my monitor, and the print appears fine too.


Thanks for looking.

Paul.

Interesting idea, and I guess that's the only way to get identical blooms, but they are too "fake" looking for me. -- might just be me because I am a florist.
