Re: PESO - Blue Snowflake
Interesting way to get a yellow gradient background. Can't explain the blue color, but it looks nice.

Re: PESO - Blue Snowflake
Interesting observation - in a sense the droplets (rime) could be acting like additional lens elements and altering the refraction of light. I am hoping to work with the yellow filter a little more and if this turns up again I'll turn off the mufti white balance to see if that affects it. I have never seen this with red filters in the past. Mark On 1/28/2015 10:52 PM, Igor PDML-StR wrote: Mark, Your guess about the auto-WB compensating for the yellow light is very plausible.

It looks like the blue color is where there are some sort of droplets on the snowflake. I wonder if it's the interference on the two surfaces of those droplets. Nice image, as usual.
