DS233 Kind of Kind of Blue
Topic: Today's theme is the color blue. Blue sky. Blue plate. Blue M&Ms. Make a photo of something blue and post it today.
Title says it all.
Strobist info: Used "FP" (as in Flash Pulse) strobe mode. One SB800 zoomed to 105mm camera left at manual power setting of 1/4th, through a CTGB* gel :) Triggered by the camera controller unit (non-contributing). Shutter speed selected to nuke out the ambient light, aperture selected for shallow DOF.
Postprocessing: it's not desaturated in PP. I did minor cleanup of the background (my shirt reflected some of the light there) by an adjustment brush (-4EV) in Lightroom. Then, increased marginally the exposure and increased blacks for more punchy message. Increased saturation of blue and cyan (+10 or so).
