This was shot with my Canon S95 a while ago. It has been post-processed by running it through Photomatix HDR software plus various tweaks to the colour temp and exposure - plus it's an unusual view of the Kelvin Grove Museum - this is the back, taken from Glasgow University.


I like the end result, but I wasn't too enamoured with the original.



Your mileage may vary :-)

Enjoy.

This idea about capturing the stages of a flowers blossoming popped into my head when I saw the different stages of flowering of each of the bunch.

Here's the end result:


Here's the setup photo:


The Pringles can is a strip-light that I made.

There are some things I would do differently next time, but I didn't have time to do them today as the bunch of flowers was for someone else and wasn't staying here :-(
I would make the background darker, forget about getting the vase in shot, fill the frame with the flower head and make the light a bit less intense on the right hand side.

Anyway, that's for next time. Or I suppose I could bring my wife a bunch of flowers.....
