Neon Daydreams
Tags: butterfly, neon, wings, colors
This is a picture of a butterfly that found while visiting Callaway Gardens. Sheila Blocher and I went to visit the gardens on our hunt for some interesting pictures. I took. many pictures of butterflies and almost passed out due to the humidity at the Butterfly Center. The original picture of this butterfly was not very colorful. So, I decided to play with the filters to try and find one that added more color
After spending many hours at Sheila’s house working on college work, I think we stumbled upon some very creative filters. Sheila first discovered this filter and I was very pleased how it made my butterfly look. I also enjoyed using the polarized filter. After applying this filter, I played with the saturation and contrast to achieve the colors for the butterfly.
My students would love this picture. We could use this picture in the discussion of life cycles of insects. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle takes the children through the metamorphosis of a butterfly. I could use this picture and have children try to create their own through paint or chalk. If I had the time I could take different butterfly pictures and work with children one on one to create their own picture in Photoshop. Just a few ideas that I could implement.
