Yellow Flowers :: Dec 04, 2007 :: Comments [0]
Another shot of flowers from St. Lucia. I think you'll find over time that I have something for taking shots of flowers. Not sure what it is, but there's something about them that draws me in. One of the things I'm pushing myself to do is take more subjects that are outside my norm. So if you see me posting flower after flower, say so.
The title of this post would be a whole lot better if I knew the name of this varietal. But what can you do? I do think the depth of field on this is a bit shallow - but I liked it enough to post it anyway. I'd be interested to hear what you think.
Since I'm just starting this up, I thought I'd just mention a little about my method briefly - being the digital age and all, who knows what the original looked like. First I'll say that I shoot most everything in RAW, then use Adobe RAW to make mostly minor adjustments. I may then pull a photo into Photoshop to do some minor editing, "burning," cropping, or the like.
If I do more than that to a photo, I'll try to make mention of it. I will say I do know my way around Photoshop, but I have a lot to learn. Letting you know who I've accomplished something might help you, and will definitely help me!
I think I have a few more shots that I'll be posting from St. Lucia after this one, then I'll be working my way backwards through my archives. As I've yet to post any of the photos I've taken over the past year or so, and needing to bolster my archives here, I figure what better time than now.
