Massively behind in posting and am trying to catch up on commenting a little each day. This lily is the 'slow bloomer' of the bouquet. In fact, several of the ones featured have moved on to compost. This one joined a new bunch Jim brought home today. It's definitely taking its time. Another stacking, used 4 photos. Processed in Color Efex Pro using 'dramatic' filter and then tweaking in Aperture.
@rvwalker You are so right, Ross!! Posted last night and I was so tired from the long day, I didn't even notice it. Offending leaf is gone as of tonight! Thanks for point that out...I shouldn't have missed something that obvious that did not add anything to the overall composition.
@salza@salza Thanks Sally! I didn't use a tutorial, but just mucked around with the HDR program from Nik Suite following a session at Apple with one of the guys there who was helping me with Aperture. He'd recommended it for HDR which I'd been interested in learning. I'll try to check online and see if I can find one that would be helpful -- but really, it's not a complicated program. And you can use a lot of the presets when you first get started. What main processing program do you use?
@taffy I have recently started using PhotoShop CC and Lightroom. Was using PSE 9 previously. PS CC is a major learning curve and many of the PhotoShop tutorials are not aimed at CC! I will look into whether there's an HDR merge in CC
Love the subtle tones and textures -- a beautiful contrast to your other studies. It reminds me a bit of a Albrecht Durer print. Must fav this one as well.
