    Heucheria leaf on a light box

    So often I tried to image a Heucheria leaf. It doesn’t seem complicated. With less saturation the impression of a water color image emerges of a single leaf.

    Going on with my Blossfeldt studies I need a background for this image. An image with background exerts a special charm. A paper structure fits well.

    Only the conversion to black and white comes closer to the impression of a Blossfeldt macro.

    X-ray fusion photo of a Nautilus

    Fusion imaging can be done retrospective. My split Nautilus shell on a light box rendered with manual HDR shows already a nice structure of the inner parts.

    The X-ray obtained a couple of days earlier easily fits onto the HDR with not a big deal of processing.

    The meaning of the fusion image may be different to the flowers. But it’s feasible to do it retrospectively.
