Dried up Liatris

For lack of a better subject today I made this image of a dried out liatris seed pod from my garden. I readjusted my macro set up to get a softer illumination of the subject. I intend to shoot more insects this summer and I want to be prepared. I took 33 images and merged them in Zerene Stacker to get maximum depth of field and sharpness of the fuzzy seed pod. I then finished up the image in Aurora 2017 and Photoshop CC. I will be showing behind the scenes photos of my set up in future installments.

The Big Picture

I used a 1/2.3 sensor point n shoot camera with 12 megapixels to make this 30 image picture of my backyard. The thirty images merged in Photoshop CC yielded a super high resolution image worthy of any full frame DSLR camera. Something to think about before you buy your next $6500 camera.

No Re-Egrets

A redo of white egret image from past Florida trip.

High Key Waterfall

I shot this in color but changed it to high key black and white. I used Nik Silver Effects Pro 2 for the conversion to black and white. I like the mystical wintery look of this picture.

Cleveland Airshow

Welcome to 2017. It's going to be a good year especially in photography. I hope you stick around and we'll see if we can up our game. Here's to taking it to new heights with this picture made in Aurora 2017, Cheers!
