Description
Just a spring-type photo featuring my famous bamboo plant.
TECH
Nothing fancy about this one. The bamboo is in the window, so I shot it with my Sigma 105mm macro lens, which rules BTW. You just need to not use the autofocus on it because it's noisy and slow.
The light is provided by the nearby star, Sol. The backdrop is a combination of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, otherwise known as the sky. I processed it from RAW with high saturation and a slight temperture shift to get the slightly funky colors.

This is great. I actually thought the blue background was a colored piece of paper until I read the description. So there's actually a window there somewhere? Great job at hiding it - did you use any kind of filter?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nope no filter. just shot in RAW and boosted contrast, temperature and saturation in capture one.
