Sometimes things take a weird twist. Quite often a click is made with a good intent but the results are just not even close what the photographer had in mind. I guess everybody who puts some thoughts in their photography can relate to that statement. But here is a story how it can become just the opposite.
Last Friday night, while sitting in a chair and some good music coming out of the loudspeakers, I made some test shots with high ISO settings. I saw the light from the lamp beside me reflected and distorted in a window across the room. The blossom of a house plant in front of the window was my subject to test focus and handholding the camera and lens in low light. There wasn’t really an intent for a good picture. While evaluating my shots on the computer screen I realized the shadow of the flower on the glass of the window and I liked this effect. The lamp is just normal incandescent light, with other words very boring, and so I tweaked the white balance of the image into the extremes you can see here. Hey, now we have an artsy-fartsy-like-shot, or not…?? 😊
