To take this I used a polarizer, and an orange filter mounted on my 135mm Nikon lens with my Cokin filter system with 400 ISO Kodak print film at f/16 and 1/250. The water, and the stiffness of the bristles help hold them in place, which is convenient for somebody in the neighbourhood looking for shelter and a drink.
I was using Fuji film 400 ISO Sensia film at handheld speeds (about 1/30 bracketed through 1/125) with my Sigma 70-300mm zoom and no filter assistance at f/5.6. The cooled, deep colour green comes from the overcast sky (remember: shadows will take on a cool feeling with outdoor film) in combination with the tendency of Fuji film to expose blue better than other colours. |
