photographic impressionism




Camera: Canon
Model: Canon EOS REBEL T2i
ISO: 400
Exposure: 1/25 sec
Aperture: 5.0
Focal Length: 50mm
Flash Used: No

Technical: Manually pulled out of focus. Hung some crepe paper flowers from a hanger from a light fixture to get back light and glow effect.  Set White Balance to Fluorescent to get more warm overcompensation of fluorescent "crisp" light. (I don't know how to describe it, but fluorescent gives a light that makes things look white white to the point it looks blue...like a white LED).  Or well that's what I think. 

Artistic: Feeling kind of blue, wanted to make something that felt ethereal and delicate.  I wanted to capture the feeling you get when you look at an impressionist painting...you know how they use the pigment to capture something. You know it's a flower or a lake or a person, but that's not what's important in an impressionist painting, it's the feeling of movement (or this case, i wanted to capture the sense of aliveness -- though it's just crepe paper) or emotion.
