Shot on: Kodak T-200 (cinema film, balanced for tungsten
light) at 1/125s - f11 (not accurate)

Flowers of a typical central region of Brasil trees, named
“Suina". These trees live on dry and hot areas being a
natural refugee of some wild orchids. Their flowers only
boom on a few days per year, just before the first rainfalls of
the season, when all the leaves fall

It's a series of shots using a moving picture, tungsten light
balanced film. It produces interesting effect, overenhancing
magenta and blue colour rendition when used under day
light conditions.
