thanks Sandi.. I was out doing some night available light shots last night.. you didn't get to see the garden in the dark... this is what it looks like then.. again... the brug is JT's Karoline
Karoline isn't lit directly.. but it has some ambient light from a dicromatic spot near by.. dicromatic spots have two colors of light emiting from it... this one is a red/blue light..[ it also is available as a green/yellow bulb ] if the light hits something directly the shadow made will have a slight outline of the two colors.. it does give an electric glow to flower colors..
you can see the dicromatic spot in the uper right corner.. i doesn't really read red or blue when looking at the bulb.. I have it shining on the red japanese maple... makes it look like it's on fire... but the camera goes haywire when trying to read the light ... and ends up just blasting too much on the different spectrums... so things are difficult to shoot in it... here you see part of the maple... fire.. and the blasted out light on the honeysuckle in the baclgroung of the American Dream Catcher... which needs a pruning to get the vines back around the frame of it instead of running throughout..
