Fuji X-E1, 188-55mm. Played with this in LR4, trying to highlight the form while still holding on to colour, and hint at a painterly quality...

There's the painter in you coming out again.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha, yes, I suppose it is. Cheers, Brian.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Yep, nice one Rob

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian.

I tried it a touch lighter, but don't like it as much...

Hi Rob,

Beautifully lit, I adore the subtle light on these, nice and gentle. Very nicely done with great effect! A true wall hanging photo, love it.

More please........

 

[Pete Askew]

back to the Dutch Masters period I see! Very nicely done - subtle.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Peter - thought you'd like it. I often think of your flowers when I'm taking or editing mine. Thanks for the inspiration.

Pete - can't beat the Dutch Masters! Not sure how to print something like this. On canvas or heavy mat paper it would probably look like a bad painting. Gloss, on the other hand...

 

[Pete Askew]

Yes, glossy paper would give you wonderful blacks. Even one of the heavyweight satin finished papers would work I suspect and give you a more delicate rendering of the yellow.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete.

 

[Brodie Jackson]

This photo is so beautifully moody! I love it

 

[Paul Lange]

Nice and delicate Rob and it has a wonderful tactile look.

Thanks, Brodie. Much appreciated.

Thanks, Paul, but hands off!
