for "get pushed" this week, Junko (@jyokota) challenged me to: "capture a macro nature shot and post it without editing anything", to "use (my) camera settings to produce (the) image instead of relying on post-production editing"
for anyone who follows me, you know i've become pretty much addicted to post processing so this is a humongous challenge for me...
not sure the above is quite what Junko had in mind, but it was shot with my macro lens up close, and i did not do a thing with what came out of the camera (not even a crop)...
before shooting i set up the picture style... obviously this was shot using the monochrome setting... i think i had both sharpness and contrast as high as they would go... i also experimented with the in-camera filters and decided i liked the red filter the best.... and of course i picked the dof and shutter speed...
the nice thing about this challenge is that there was comparatively little to mull over after pulling the images off the camera... just a question of deciding which ones to post... yes - there's two... the other is in my other album :) http://365project.org/northy/just-because/2013-09-03
@tabbycat yep - on the canon there's a function called picture styles or done such... There are a number of "presets" and then you can also " mix" your own :).
Beautiful image. I'm so impressed with all the steps you took in camera in advance of the shot. I think I had better pull out my manual... Well done on your challenge!
You have done so well SOOC - and to think that I could possibly, with practice, and much trial and error over several years, might maybe be able to produce a shot like this SOOC!
A FAV!

btw, i'm dealing with a splinter under fingernail and slowly studying up for my challenge so mine wont be ready for a few days . . .
And by the way, I seem to inadvertently be doing a b&w month this month...
