Love that second one Sinead, would sit well in the abstract
section. Not sure if it needs quite so much space at the bottom,
but flow of lines and colour is very pleasing to the eye…
Gary, not sure which technique you mean? Set up or processing?
Set up was really simple, used 2 bits of A2 sized card for background,
proped a silver reflector on a chair with some pillows,
Nikkor 55mm Micro AI lens & x4 close up filter. 1/2 ” at f16 100 ISO
To get the blur, I just twiddled the flower a bit!
I’m really bad at keeping notes on what processing I do but the most of
it was done in Lightroom, direct positive preset and pushed the blacks a
bit. In PS levels, change mode to CMYK use apply image experiment with
colour channels, used black first and think I might have inverted the yellow,
play with blending modes as well, I like linear light and overlay. Change mode
back to RGB and used diffuse glow filter.
