Well Yes...I know it's a flower. My intention was to practice using settings on my new camera and seeing what I could get in terms of close-up detail. The close-up world is exciting because I couldn't see it well with the old camera. In Photoshop, I extracted one flower group from a much larger image, selected the large bloom, enhanced the bloom to make it pop, and selected the background area and applied a blur.
I promise not to contribute any more flower images!
Hello Photographers! This space is dedicated to a group of photo enthusiasts who will be diplaying their photography at the Fall 2011 Olympia Arts Walk. We have all studied under the guidance of Barbra Kates, and this will be our first public display capturing our learning, for some, over the last year and a half. Our exhibit is being hosted by Don's Camera, which has so graciously donated the front of the shop for our work. The Blogspot is for all committed entrants to post weekly images based on the weekly photo assignments.
