In over 40 years, Janice has drug me to so many plant places that I could not even begin to count them. When we visit these places today, we have a system—she starts studying all the plants and I look for something to photograph. It works pretty good, until the sun goes down and one of us still wants to do some more studying while the other wants: FREEDOM!
A couple weeks ago, I spotted this tree at a nursery. I really liked the textures and colors of the bark. My job was to find one with the best light and background so that I could bring both texture and color out in my photo. This is my attempt.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, 105mm macro f/2.8, shot at ISO 200, f/19 and 1/60 of a second on a tripod
Post Processing: Lightroom—set white and black point, added mid-tone contrast and increased the color saturation and luminosity for yellow, red and blue.
Great shot Patrick!
ReplyDeleteI like how the tree trunk is split into to a warm side and a cool side by the diagonal line of the peeling bark! Great overall colors too! You had a good eye to see this!
Cheers!

How do you see stuff like this? I am with Barry, I tend to pass them by. I like the colors and the composition. You still have not done your series on how you photograph and process your image. Coming soon?
