Hey there. I've been absent for a long time due to severe back problems. I wasn't even allowed to touch a computer... Feeling much better, I'm catching up on a load of processing work. In the mean time I'm also experimenting with posting images through an external website (not a member yet!). So if you don't see anything, it's probably my fault!
Two points of self criticism on this one: 1) too much shadow on the subject (should have used a reflector). 2) lots of purple fringing on the edge of the white and the purple. Is it possible to cope with this in PP? I'm guessing there's no chance of preventing it while shooting unless I buy a better camera.....
Other suggestions equally welcome!
Panasonic DMC-FZ18, Bilora Favorit tripod, 78 mm (468 mm SLR equivalent) with 4+ Suntec closeup lens. Manual focus. Pattern metering, ISO 100, F/7.1, 1/160 sec, -0.6 EC.
PP: Silkypix, adaptive unsharp, low key contrast, increased saturation.
