Laser Rose
Well, having failed at a photographic assignment I am trying to move on.
Each time I try one of these commissions I learn something for the next time.
I just am not sure that I can do it again because it's so darn tense for me.
It's also into the normal Southern California fall routine, almost rain, then nasty Santa Ana conditions.
Yesterday I was wearing a stocking cap and jacket in the garage and today it's 90F outside.
So this is an fabric rose and three laser pointers (RGB). The exposure is about 20 seconds with a 10 stop ND filter on the lens.
It takes a bit of trial and error to get a nice balance of colors. The camera sensor is really sensitive to the red, so you have to spend a lot more time withe blue and green.
I may try it with a real white rose at some point. The fabric rose fluoresces with the blue laser, so I might get a better effect.
Cheers.
