After singing the praise of the British weather I then became frustrated by it - typical. This afternoon there were very few opportunities to get out and capture any photographs - the light was so dull and of course it kept raining. Anyway I did managed about 10 minutes this afternoon and started to do some work with complimentary and harmonious colours.
The Grape hyacinths is a case in point. The blue of the flowers is in harmony with the green of the vegetation - well that is what my colour wheel says. To be honest I have never really given this too much attention - preferring to fly by the seat of pants when it comes to these matters. Does it appear to be a good photograph? was the selection point in the past. Now I am trying to improve my garden photography so I need to be more precise with my colours - these are a vital element to making a great plant photograph. Well that's the theory anyway - lets see how it works out over the summer.
