Feeling Blue: Pink Striped Lilies
I found some Pink Striped Lilies at the market the other day. Such gorgeous colors I had to bring them home with me! Despite their vibrant colors, I wanted to shoot them on Ilford’s black and white HP5 film.
Using a touch of color, namely a blue filter on my lens, caused the deep red and pink of the petals and the green of the leaves to darken nicely and create dramatic tones and textures. You can see why blue filters are seldom used for black and white portraits.
