White

This photo is rather peculiar. Early one morning in Aso, my girlfriend decided to take a picture of a puzzle she did the previous night at our guest house. She’s another enthusiastic amateur, and of course she corrected the white balance for the indoor lighting. When we got to our lookout point on the edge of the beautiful, foggy caldera encircling the peaks of Aso, I started shooting excitedly, all the while wondering why all my pictures were coming out blue. It took me over half an hour to figure it out and correct the white balance, but in trying to recolor some of the shots I ended up with this interesting, polariod-ish, washed-out color. Because I actually kind of like all of the Holga and polaroid photography I’m seeing across the internet these days (this guy does a lot), I kind of like the effect. Bonus photo from the same spot (natural color) after the jump.
