This weekend I went to the Huntington Botanical Gardens with my parents. The photo on the right was the photo I took of the rose garden on my phone. My phone has a feature that makes the photo HD, which is what you see on the left. The photo on the left is most similar to what you would see with the naked eye (and some sunglasses). As you can see the pigments in the photo on the left are much more defined and rich that those on the right. The sun is the main source of light in this photo. I think if the roses had been under any other source of synthetic light, the colors would not be as organic or bold. My favorite part of the photo is the sky and how near the top of the photo the blue is darker and then gets progressively lighter until it is white (and a-chromatic "color") near the trees. To achieve this richness, I would use a blue or lavender gel because that is the most natural when cat upon on object or actor. Two words I would use to describe this photo are romantic and pastoral. I feel like I'm in a scene from Pride and Prejudice or Much Ado About Nothing.
Such rich beautiful natural colors! Love the silhouette in the foreground with the bright white sunlight popping the green grass and plants in the background. Love the gradient in the sky too. Nice commentary and photos!
