Franks Tuesday Photo Challenge: Fuzzy
OK the feature photo is just a distraction for the actual fuzzy photos.
I had some ideas over the past couple of days but decided to go with this bit of fuzziness I found on the weekend on the way to the farmers market.
A photo challenge from Lost in Translation: Once Over
I like this photo challenge as I quite often am not satisfied with a photo I have taken and want to try and capture the feeling or mood when I was attempting to get what I wanted.
Here is the original – the closest of many photos to what I hoped to achieve.
What I wanted but just couldn’t adjust my camera to the right settings to achieve was a dark background in order to fringe highlight the small hairs on the begonia leaves and stems. Once I had manipulated the image to what I desired, I then removed some of the elements that I didn’t want in the photo with cropping and cloning.
This is my final result.
I thought for a while what I could do for Lost in Translations Black and White Sunday theme of Texture. I like collecting Begonias as their leaves are so different but is mainly the colour of the leaves that is the draw card for people. I wonder how many look closely at the leaves?
Here is a selection of the few plants I have in my sun room.
This one has lots of little hairs
The leaves have little lumps and bumps
Some leaves grow quite big
Some are small. This one also has fine hairs all over the leaf.
As an afterthought, I should show the some of the leaves in colour
I have gone for a plant theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: All One Colour look here for other fabulous all one colour photos.
Some photos are close, some are just some of my favourites.
