Timeline of an Agapanthus on film!  by salza

Timeline of an Agapanthus on film!

For my get pushed challenge from April @aecasey - Since this is the last week of 2014 I thought it would be fun for you to create an image that represents the passing of time. I like your forays into Photoshop, and thought this challenge might work well with your growing skills.

I have chosen to portray an agapanthus flower from bud through to fully opened!

I followed this tutorial to achieve the effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhLbGleU-iY

@aecasey April, I hope this meets the challenge you gave me. I did have another idea that I wanted to try out but unfortunately time was not on my side.

Fantastic! I love the progression, the use of the film strip, that gorgeous background, and the shadow. I agree with Annie ... would love to be able to do something like this.

@annied @aecasey I have added a link to the tutorial I follwed in my description. I used one of my sunrise photos as my background instead of creating a background using different gradients.

Cool image! I'm your get-pushed partner for the week. It's been fun to look through your photos. Looks like you've got a lot of experience and take a variety of images. I'm sure you've gotten many challenges before, so if this is too similar to a past one, let me know!
This week, I challenge you to pick one aperture to shoot with for an entire day (or the whole week, if you want!). The aperture level is up to you.
December 29th, 2014  
WOW...this is amazing!!! HUGE fav
December 29th, 2014  
so uniquely beautiful:)
December 29th, 2014  
@ludgate thanks for the challenge. I always shoot using aperture priority so this won't be a problem. I'll try using an aperture that I don't normally use.
December 29th, 2014
