Colorful Swirls

Uploaded: October 07, 2012

Description

This is my Xtra Click photo. Colorful purple, green and red pinwheels caught in slow motion. Since I took so many photos I decided to play with the raw image to see what would happen. It created a rather cool effect that I normally would not have tried. The colors were enhanced through use of extreme values in white balance towards the warm side – K8300 and saturation at 100 before converting the raw file. 1/13, f/14, ISO 100, 112mm

Thanks Joannie! This was taken for my photo class lesson on blurs. I took way too many of pinwheels as they totally fascinated me. So many that I decided to play with the extremes in raw conversion and came up with this. Totally surprised me that the extremes work. #10366789
