"Cozy Cosmo". 9/26/10, 7:26 PM. Cut flower gardens, Thomas E. Ricks demonstration gardens, Rexburg, ID. f/5. 1/40 sec. - Nikon D60. Tripod, silver reflector card--which gives the warmth in the petals. For this image I also created an adjustment layer and changed the exposure, offset and gamma to brighten and then masked everything back in except the main flower at about 50%. I then came back with a 100% mask in the corners to create a slight vignette.Cosmos are my favorite flower. :)
"Sun Ladies". 9/26/10, 7:31 PM. Cut flower gardens, Thomas E. Ricks demonstration gardens, Rexburg, ID. f/5.6. 1/40 sec. - Nikon D60. No edits.I was trying to get a different perspective on some sunflowers, and happened upon these little ladies. Love it when that happens.
"Veronica Tea". 9/27/10, 10:46 AM. Thomas E. Ricks demonstration gardens, Rexburg, ID. f/8. 1/200 sec. - Nikon D60. I cropped the image slightly and also created an adjustment layer and changed the exposure, offset and gamma to brighten; then I masked back in the corners slightly.I'm a lover of my aperture mode, but have difficulty getting really close to anything with it, so I decided to try out my macro mode on this shot--happily.
"In the Nasturtiums". 9/27/10, 10:55 AM. Thomas E. Ricks demonstration gardens, Rexburg, ID. f/5.6. 1/125 sec. - Nikon D60. I cropped and rotated the image and again created an adjustment layer and changed the exposure, offset and gamma to brighten (it's kinda my favorite); then I masked back everywhere but where the grasshopper is.
I love the different perspective you got on the sunflower. Very creative and way to think outside the box!
ReplyDeleteI really like "In the Nasturiums" I really like how you blurred out the edges so the grasshopper really becomes your focal point. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love the angles that you chose for these shots, its cool to see the different perspectives
