WHAT-IFFING: Unnatural Colors


In July, I was thinking about complementary colors and began playing around with a picture I have of a green palm frond I photographed in Florida.

Off the top of my head, I don't recall how I turned it into this -- I would have to bring up that file and look at all the layers and see what the sequence was, and since I'm having computer problems at the moment, that's not in the cards.

Even though these are ridiculous colors for a palm frond, I really liked the vibrancy, the combo of purple and yellow, and the overall simplicity of the picture.

It looked good as a full-frame horizontal image, and when I squarified it, it looked good that way, too.

So here they are. Two formats and an example of what just playing around can do for you.

Daily weirdness

Typical conversation around our house ...

Chris, coming into the office and seeing this on the computer monitor: "Bridge at Florence?"

Me: "Nope. Palm tree."

Chris: "Of course."

Major verticality


Palm trees in front of a turquoise wall photographed in Florida a few years ago bear a slight resemblance to vertical ink lines I photographed on a torn piece of paper in California last year. Florida's more colorful, but then we'd expect that, wouldn't we? ©Carol Leigh

A touch of Florida

Having spent most of my adult life in California, I'm no stranger to palm trees. But in Florida, well, these are FLORIDA palms! So yeah, I took a bunch of photos. I'm such a tourist... I found one against a yellow wall and had a bit of fun with it, putting together this image which to me looks like a weird tropical flower (that one might find on an aloha shirt). ©Carol Leigh
