Very kewl thistle Terry. My wife and I have many many thistle patches on our 150 acres. When they go into full bloom (Rare as we spray them or chop them off) they can be quite beautiful with the Purple color.
I notice something on your yellows that I noticed on some of my Red and Yellow flowers. I thought it was just me but you kind of have the same thing going on.
I notice that red and yellow flowers tend to over saturate for some reason................. I had to decrease those channels in my PP on my last post otherwise the yellow middle part of the flower was way over powered with saturation and was literally blown out due to it
Great shots buddy !!! Nothing like a good drive out in the country to get your b/p down a few mm
You are on the money Ant... this time of year the flowers colors tend to be UV and IR reflective ...makes them easier for the pollen eaters to find them... and they are real sensor foolers... I have a devil of a time with them.
You do have to watch the RGB histogram more with these colors, but even then they are a bear. About the only thing to do is under expose to control it.
Hey, sounds like you have a nice piece of ground... that's about the size of the plot that I was shooting at yesterday... lots of meadow birds and wildflowers there... they have it in a gov't soil bank program to just leave it wild... I love it. and my BP loves it too
