Whoa!! the red is awesome!! it really brings this thing to life!
Leslie Battjes replied
Oh good…I was wondering what you guys would think of the red…any guesses how I did it? The color is not related to post-processing!
Dennis Jones -...

Larissa Brea
Wao! you are the queen of nautilus! Love the color!
Leslie Battjes replied
thanks, Larissa! How about you? Any guesses on how I got this color without post-processing?
Larissa Brea
A filter?
Leslie Battjes replied
nope, not a filter….good guess, though! :)
Larissa Brea
Hmmm….
Jan Piller
You fired the flash through a piece of red foil?
Leslie Battjes replied
close….
Larissa Brea
Ok. a red light bulb inside the nautilus?
Leslie Battjes replied
nope! :)
Larissa Brea

Am I close enough to win a prize??? What’s the prize? Cuz I don’t wanna play anymore if there’s no good prizes.. like cash.. or chocolate…. or night with Liam….
Leslie Battjes replied

zomboy

Leslie Battjes replied
Thanks, zomboy!
Leslie Battjes
Okay, here’s the deal….I was fiddling around with the speedlight and wondered what would happen if I put my hand out in front of the light just as it went off…this color was the result. I suppose it’s much like holding a penlight against your palm and seeing the light as red through the other side of your hand. I was surprised, though! :)
Jan Piller
wow!! that’s weird!! I would have thought the hand would just block the light! too weird! Yah I still don’t have a new coffee pot. Stupid coffee maker.
Leslie Battjes replied
see? that’s exactly what I thought…I thought it would block some of the light and let some escape around my hand…I didn’t have my hand on it, just near it. weird but cool! :)
Angela Churchill

Larissa Brea

another one if you made it into a ping (made the black absent) it would look REALLY cool on a shirt. OH WONDERFUL! :)

I’ll bet you put your hand in front of a speedlight just as it went off…: )
Leslie Battjes replied

HAHAHHAHA :)
NewDawnPhoto
Scarry, isn’t it?!
My real guess was that you fooled your camera into thinking another color was white. Never would have guessed what you did.
Leslie Battjes replied
My camera is smarter than me…no way I can fool it! :P
