After Julz and I finished painting the red rose, we decided to deconstruct it š
Here it is earlier in the day. I had it on a white tablecloth near a window, with a white sheer curtain behind it. I love the light.
Roses are Red.

Here’s a reminder of the light painting – you can see the full post here.
And then we got out the knife, heheheheheh….
Inside the rose.
So many layers.
Soft.
Intricate details.
One final shot to share with you. You know I love to play with my editing. I took the rose and converted it to black and white and blew it out in terms of exposure. Lots of manoeuvres to bring back the details, but I really like the final effect. I think it would make really pretty notepaper if I soften it a little more. What do you think?

always amazes me, you sit in the same area with me and get totally different shots…..love it! I really like the last image too, totally see it as note paper. Also if you turned it into like a pencil drawing effect as well, would be super cool and pretty. I love the super detailed stamen area as well, WOW, love that macro lens!

You’re becoming a serial murderer! But oh, the results! And after all you’re a scientist, doing what scientists do – mindful dissection. Digital notepaper? Or 3D? Either way, that rose would invite gentle thoughts.

Thanks Meg. I’m thinking printable notepaper! Exactly, mindful dissection. That would have been a much more poetic name than deconstruction.

I truly like the B&W shot…but that first large color one is a real winner! I vote for notepaper
