9/19/06 - Complimentary

Lots of great color packed in a small space. I've been drawn to this little clump of mixed yellow and blue flowers growing on the edge of a small pond & taken pictures for several days now trying to get the blues right. Finally, today, I tried a custom (measured) white balance and that seemed to do the trick. The yellow background is reflections of flowers on the far bank.
Shot it twice - once in focus and once completely blurred & out of focus - and overlaid the images. Gives a deeper saturated color.
I actually went out to do multiple exposures - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/67156237 & http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/67156220 & http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/67156219
