Pings!
The afternoon rain clouds began to cluster darkly in the sky, so we knew that our time today was
coming to a close. But before the storms hit, I took advantage of the softer light by photographing
Pinguicula planifolia.
Isn't the color of this plant remarkable? Even more interesting is how the plant's color can change with viewing angle. I shot the above
photograph with a polarizer attached, so the plant's color would not be influenced by glare. That's the color of the plant.
This is what the plant looks like, with glare off clouds. The color is still
true, but with some white highlights.
These plants are reflecting glare from blue sky, hence the color shift.
