Editing Photos Exercise
Today turned out to be a stunning day weather wise - a warm breeze, lots of sunshine with long wispy clouds overhead; a day to just go outside and enjoy! After the heavy downpour we had overnight the flowers in the garden took on a new lustre, just shouting to be photographed. So out came the faithfull Nikon Coolpix.
Following up on the ‘Editing Photos Exercise’ that took place last week and the preparing of images for the new Stock Media Photo site I added all the photos that were taken with my digital camera to Lightroom3 where they would be edited.
Editing Photos of Flowers
One of the photos that stood out most for me was that taken today was that of the Cyclamen, a most beautiful flower with its tall stems, fiery red twisted petals and variegated foliage. Stunning!b Beloved by both florists and gardeners. Rather than keep my Cyclamen in a pot I prefer to see it growing in the garden among all the other flowers.
In Lightroom started the editing process with just a touch of tone, adding a touch of brightness and contrast, tweak of clarity and a little more depth in the shadows. Every flower deserves unique attention as so much depends on the time of day the image was taken, camera settings and the light.
