Forgotten I'd planted snake's head fritillary bulbs and most surprised to see these yesterday.
Had to stay indoors all day today, so spent the morning on YouTube and as a result I THINK I now understand masks and the selection tool. Practised new skills on this!
If you masked that, I’d say you did a very nice job....I’m not even sure it wasn’t just shot on black, so that is about as good as it gets, I think. The flower is gorgeous.
Lovely shot of the bloom. The pattern is very clear. There will be no stopping you now if you're learning about masking and selecting. I think about your output without using those techniques.
@ludwigsdiana used new cropping skills on this ( I know, who knew different ways! @kjarn tried white didn't work @happysnaps might be, let me know @randystreat I bought Affinity and use it for cropping ( new method learnt yesterday!) sharpening etc, and managed layering easily for composting but could NOT get my head around masks. I won't use it too often, too time consuming! @anniesue there's a whole bank of purple and white ones on one of my walking routes @dutchothotmailcom this I just cropped, but took it in raw @robz see I got there in the end, calling it editing not cheating!!! @taffy taffy I was shattered, it was like being at school in a maths lesson, then I found a remedial class ! Bingo understood it, probs won't use it - bit like algebra!! @marlboromaam they are! Never had success with them and two have grown!!! @ljmanning me neither Laura!! @Dawn in a snakey creepy way they are @carole_sandford love how they dangle @365anne bring em in and forget them!! Bet they don't show next year!!! @tinley23 it was, totally forgot them @wakelys it was! But processing is so time consuming, I'd rather paint @theredcamera used a new cropping skill and a bit of exposure change. Taken raw with new macro lens ( and I found out on live view can get really close in and focussed!!) @shutterbug49 Debbie this isn't masked, it was shot on black and I sorted exposure as shot raw and exposed to the right @ninaganci thank you Nina @billyboy they are!! @monicac thanks @joansmor when the nod in the breeze they're very pretty @monikozi very architectural bloom @grammyn thank you!!
.I must ring my local nursery to see if they are available here.
