Snowy Sepia Rudbeckia

January 5th, 2011 by

snowy sepia rudbeckia
I love photographing rudbeckia (black-eyed susans); they are like sculptures in the winter snow. To achieve the see-through border, I added a 9px stroke to the Photoshop layer that had the sepia effect. Since the layer had an opacity lower than 100%, the border is also transparent. The default stroke effect is a bright red color; using the eye-dropper tool, I selected a color from within the photograph for the border.

    You got a lot of snow too I see. Flowers can be beautiful even in the winter.

    Quite a dazzling effect in a muted way. Winter weather photographs always intrigue me.

    I like the way the Susans popped against the muted background. In any weather, they give off a happy vibe.

    How lovely in sepia. Dandelion puffs would look good with this filtering.

    I like the tones. The snow looks like sugar.

    These are quite delicate! The feeling seems to be delicate: crystal stemware or an exquisite ceramic. What we see in sepia is artistry, indeed…

    They are so lovely with their snow caps on and I like the sepia effect created.
