Primrose's On My Mind<\/p><\/div>\n

I like Primrose, but then I don’t think I had ever seen primrose on this scale, or\u00a0exactly\u00a0this color. Breathtaking might be too strong, but certainly something like a\u00a0hiccup. Again when the subject is really the mass effect, you have to shop for a pattern that catches the eye. Zooming out to about 200mm and shooting at a low angle into the mass of flowers captured the effect I was after. (We are, by the way, still at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, ME.)<\/p>\n

Sony DSC H50 at about 200mm equivalent. F5.6 @ 1\/800 @ ISO 100. Programed auto.<\/p>\n

I used the General-Punch develop preset in Lightroom and the Sharpen-landscapes preset. That is all. Did not even open the image in the develop module.<\/p>\n

Here is a more traditional view from a higher angle, with a longer zoom (350mm equivalent) and from further away. Greater compression here.<\/p>\n

Same presets in Lightroom. A similar effect…but different.<\/p>\n
