allamande Posted March 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 17, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was experimenting with selective focus and back lighting. Here is one example. Digilux 3 PanaLeica 25/1.4, wide open. Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Hi allamande, Take a look here tulips, indoors. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted March 17, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 17, 2009 Ece - I think you're almost on to something, and there is a great deal of interest here. But something just misses, and I'm not equipped to figure out what it is. Please keep trying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allamande Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted March 17, 2009 Stuart, Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it very much. It's certainly very different than crisp images we are used to seeing. I will continue on exploring. All the best, Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 17, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 17, 2009 I think what is missing is the translucency of the flower petals one would expect in backlight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allamande Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted March 17, 2009 Something more like this? I think the light is still not direct enough to create the effect you are talking about. Jaap, thank you for your much helpful input. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michali Posted March 18, 2009 Share #6 Posted March 18, 2009 Ece- Lovely play of light and composition! I was wondering if you can try to end up with a photo of the tulips as they are in #2 with the background of #1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted March 19, 2009 Share #7 Posted March 19, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Mike said it. The Bokeh in #1 is superb. If this can be combined with a more vivid and translucent flower then it is a winner. Easy for us to say, isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 19, 2009 Share #8 Posted March 19, 2009 Ece - Our colleagues were more lucent than I. I agree with Mike & Virgil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allamande Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted March 20, 2009 Mike and Virgil (and Jaap and Stuart too), I know what I must do. Tomorrow, it's off to the market for a fresh bunch of tulips, and then I will start working on my assignment. Your insights and suggestions helped me understand the missing elements. As always, I appreciate your help and input very much! Best regards, Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
