Oregon Grape & repost

Gallery: FloraPosted December 5, 201559 views2 comments

Flowers are gone for awhile here unless I hit the nursery. I was out yesterday looking for rainy subjects and really liked the way the drops worked with the Oregon Grape leaves. The breeze was starting to be an issue, so stacking wasn't a viable option.

5D3, Canon 180mm f3.5 macro, tripod, f/32, 1/25 sec, iso 2000, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 stop compensation to avoid blowing highlights in the drops. Processed in LR5 & CS6. I cloned out a couple of oof foregrond leaves. Full frame. Taken yesterday at 9:10 am under partly cloudy skies.

I appreciate any and all comments.

Thanks,

Dennis: My wife and I were in Oregon a couple weeks ago and were impressed with the vineyards. This is well seen and superbly captured. Nicely done.>=))>

After posting this I noticed a cloning artifact and realized that there wasn't enough contract between the dark leaves and the bg to make theleaves pop. Hopefully, I've fixed both of those issues in this iteration.

Thanks,
