Really stretched myself today; I pointed this Dahlia out to Carole yesterday and said I was going to use it for my Hi-Key series and was promptly told "you're not picking it!" That kind of hamstrung me a tad. Despite the biblical rain of yesterday evening, the Dahlia was still standing today, so I had to improvise.
The result of that improvisation is the picture (the methodolgy is up in my extras here) but it goes to show, in a 'studio' (if you can call what we have in the conservatory a studio) you can contol the light, outside, you most certainly can't (hence the shadows on this). It's not as 'white' as many this month, I could probably 'make' it whiter in LR but it would take away the fireburst of the Dahlia, and there's nothing I could do with the shadow of the tree (top left corner), we don't have a tree in the conservatory.
Thank you again for your views, comments and favs on yesterday's offering; very much appreciated as always
Love the natural light on the dahlia and I like the shadow. I have been totally inspired by your project and hope to try something similar with both black and white, but I have to wait until after abstract August.
