| Striped Crocus | March 28, 2009 @ 11:17am | These were especially beautiful. But my shots turned the whites to grayish white, which I didn't like at all.
Original, undiddled:
Macro, diddled:
Different Blend mode:
24mm lens with the Opteka 6X lens attachment. The light was hazy sun and I think I had the WB set for daylight, which should have blued the whites, I would think.

You do know you can fix the white balance in Photoshop. The process is easy; and there are several ways to do it. I personally like some of the color casts and leave them on the pictures for effect. In other words, keep "diddling".

Go ahead and play with the images. I would ask that when you post them on other sites (such as Flikr, Photobucket, etc.) that you credit my photography. I would do the same for you! Other than that, I'm E Z T D B W. |

| March 28, 2009 @ 12:33pm | Flo, I obviously need to "diddle" with some Dogwood I shot. They too were a grayish white. What you have done is really cool (did I just "date" myself).

| March 28, 2009 @ 2:59pm | Thanks, Janet. Yes, I know I could have fixed the white balance a different way. But I decided to diddle - more fun, lol.
Thanks, Becky. "Cool" as a slang word - well, sometimes I do hear kids say "cool," so perhaps it isn't out of date yet and there's hope for us seniors!
