creative pursuits
Some violets in flower under Moss (his leaves haven’t quite unfurled yet so it’s still pretty sunny there). I processed this image to enhance the look of the overcast afternoon. I’ve been sticking with about f5 in Aperture priority because I like blurry backgrounds, but I think I could have opened it up a bit more for this (especially seeing as though I had it all the way down to 35mm). I can’t wait to see what images like this one look like with a 50mm prime…
My belly dance coin scarf tossed onto my table created an interesting shape as it draped over a looped microphone cord. I tried processing it in black and white but I really liked the burgundy color so I increased the contrast and softened the highlights from the window in the back and warmed up the overall tone a bit. It gave it a dreamy effect while still maintaining the texture of the cloth and the cord (and, of course, that color!). A bit of a departure from my regular stuff but I am pleased with the outcome.
I finally got the remaining ingredients to complete my stress-relieving glitter bottle–made, of course, with my favorite iridescent shimmery stuff!
