I managed to find a huge set of twenty-eight different
filters earlier this week, so Mat and I have spent most of this afternoon
finding out what effects each filter created. We didn’t actually go out for the
wander that we’d planned in the end, as they arrived when we were about to
leave- we got a little distracted!
To test the filters we were using any items we could find
within arms reach. One of the filters was a close up; this magnifies the zoom,
and allows you to get closer to the subject. I used this in conjunction with a
starburst filter to get the effect seen in this picture.
I used two of my bracelets with glass beads as I though they
may reflect light well. I used ISO 800 to allow for the front beads, which were
in shadow of the filters! The flash illuminated the beads at the back, and gave
some interesting reflections. I used a wide aperture to get the shallowest
depth of field possible.
I didn’t have to do any editing in Photoshop, as I was
pleased with the initial image. For an experiment, I think it came out quite
well - I can’t wait to use some filters on our next photography wander!!!
