One Last Flower from Machais<\/h4>\n

You may have noticed that I had lots of fun in the overgrown flower maze at the University of Maine at Machias\u2026but I promise this is the last set from there (for now). <\/p>\n

The delicate blues and purples of this bloom, highlighted in the sun, are what caught my eye of course.<\/p>\n

Canon SX20IS at 28mm and Super-macro. F2.8 @ 1\/1000th @ ISO 200. Programmed auto.<\/p>\n

And this one, not in as full light, and from a lower angle to put it in context. Cropped slightly for composition. F2.8 @ 1\/1250th @ ISO 80. Programmed Auto. \u20131.3 EV exposure compensation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I could almost build a preset for Lightroom. A touch of Recovery for the highlights. Fill Light (more on the second shot) and Blackpoint just barely right. Added Clarity and just a bit of Vibrance. Sharpen narrow edges preset. The reason I don\u2019t build a preset is the Blackpoint adjustment, which must be carefully gauged for each image. The top image showed considerable purple fringing along the out of focus flower edge on the right. I was able to remove some of it in Lightroom.<\/p>\n

From Machias 2010<\/a>. <\/p>\n
