Didymium Crocuses

Dydimium Crocuses

Took this shortly after receiving my Dydimium filter. The whole idea that the two natural elements, praseodymium and neodymium, combine to make this filter seemed sort of spiritual. For me, that set it apart from other filters, making it seem worthwhile to pursue.

This filter is commonly used to add vibrancy to fall foliage. Since it’s spring, I thought I’d see what else it can do. You can white balance through the filter, or use it as is. It has a slight violet cast, which can also be compensated for in post. It creates very saturated and contrasty images. It would probably be ideal when using a low-saturation, low-contrast film. I like it a lot.
