Reflections in Blue

Sunday 30th January 2005 - Day 43

I've been away in Chippenham, Wiltshire on a Studio Lighting course - mainly studio flash. It was enormous fun, and I learnt a lot. Not all of which requires such lighting to be used, and could be applicable to any form of lighting. I'm sorely tempted though :) And I could then start taking some portraits, something that I really want to work on. I mean, I love landscapes, and wildlife, and I can see some things with an abstract eye, even two, but would like to capture more people.

I'm afraid that I cannot post any of the photos from the course for release reasons.

Anyway, this is the roof of the hotel swimming pool this morning. I was struck by the reflections of the tree in it, and also the vivid blue lines.

PS - Increased saturation of the blue to enhance what was already there, Cropping and framing

What a beautiful shot. I like the saturation element to it and the lines really work so well in this.

I love this alot. I had a similiar picture were I used a blue frame and the reflection of a city, somwhere in this month PaD. Very nice, the blue really stands out and brings an extra kick to the image.
