For Fun Part 2
Posted on | November 16, 2009 | No Comments
By and large horizontal images tend to be more mellow and soothing while vertical images are more rigid. The last post had me trying to make the horizontal image more vibrant while this weeks post would be a vertical image and more mellow. I was working inside a Japanes maple with a zoom lens on a tripod. I moved my rig about one foot from the horizontal to shoot this image.
To be honest, I had trouble getting exactly what I wanted. It was one of those images where no matter what you did, the image would be a compromise. I wanted the stems to be sharp but have the leaves go soft. No matter which f stop or where I focused, a few of the leaves would have some shaprness or if the leaves were totally soft, the stems would go soft. I could have reached a solution in photoshop but…. Anyway, this image came pretty close to my vision. Not exactly a soft mellow vertical but not a stiff image either.
Did I have fun? Yes, as always, it was a great day to be behind the camera.
