Silver Leaf Plant

jcdeboever · Jul 18, 2016

I have always been fond of this plant. Not the prettiest but interesting accent to a flower garden. Hard to photograph with all it's reflective quality. May try using a CPL next time, not sure how much it would help. Throwing it out here on a whim, I don't see it as a studio flower but was curious. Suggestions always welcome.

No need for a polarizer - it looks like you nailed it! I like the high contrast.

It looks fine there, but I have to admit, I would like to see a CPOL and IR version.

What are those?

Cool shot.

Nicely done. I never thought of shooting "Lamb's Ear" in black and white....I'll have to give it a try as I've never been happy with my color versions. Again - a nicely done shot!

CPOL = Circular Polarizer; IR = Infra Red. Both filters to achieve different effects.

Thanks. I didn't care for the color version one bit, even though it had purple blooms. I even hesitated posting this. Glad for feedback as I was unsure.
