My daily painting! This one I wanted to point out how differenct using flash (the main part of the image) or not using flash (the bottom-left inset) can really change the feel of an image. I'm very keenly becoming aware of just how extrordinarily different peoples perceptions of color can be - for example, try doing that dark room experiment of Newton's, where he took a prism, allowed a pinhole of white light to refract from it into a full-spectrum rainbow. Do that, and mark of either side of the limits of the colors you see. Then have someone else mark off the limits of their color perception - you'll find they vary quite a bit; for example, I'm certain I see at least a full color into the ultraviolet past indigo, and I know of others who can see further both into the ultraviolet and the infrared.
Back to this particular painting, neither one of the combined images here what I see when I turn my head to look at the painting sitting on my desk. Interesting stuff, this ocular perception.
oh my.... i'm in love with those trees, and the light quality on the trunks is so soft and gorgeous... how did i not see this painting before.. i'm such a stupid arse... !!! i love your paintings, please add more!!
Yeah, my non-flash pictures tend to be yellowish whereas flash pictures can wash out the image... it really depends what you're trying to capture, how close and ect when involving other outside elements.
Totally. One thing I want to be careful of especially when I paint outside, is that the color of my shirt will be reflecting onto the canvas, and that'll seriously mess up my colors unless i wear something totally neutral - I guess just white.
