I guess they call me the late Ms. Enns. Even though its not even the Christmas holidays.... or maybe Al meant ORANGE AND BROWN!!!! OH NO! (Happy thanksgiving!?) I am just posting this for fun, I know its out of focus in the berries a bit. And the BG is actually part of the baneberry. This was shot in July, its baneberry (Actea rubra) berries and horsetail (Equisetum arvense) in a wet spot. I dont know what the settings were. Maybe I should just say...Happy Monday folks.
Sorry Jeff, I went back to look and if I had metadata its not with this particular JPEG file that I can figure out. It was taken for work on plants somewhere, that much I know.
Happy Monday day too (actually it's already Tuesday here in Thailand).
The berry do look a bit out of focus, seem like the focus is on the green leaf in front of the berries. I like the side lighting which help in showing the round shape of the berries. Maybe more DOF and tripod next time (just guessing here since no EXIF).
Thanks Thanaboon. I wish I was in Thailand right now, let me tell you. Yes, I should be using a tripod and have even purchased one. Apparently I purchased the same one Bruce had just recently sold! I wonder if other people do that?
I like it a lot Kat The Placement berries is just fine, might only darken the corners a bit to funnel the attention to the center. ... will make a great card !!
Thanks, Lance and Al! if I can find the raw file, I could darken the corners with a vignette, right? THis is what I am TOLD anyway... I dont want to pretend I actually knew this.
darken the corners is a vignette. sounds like you had as good a day on monday as me!!! glad it's over, but you did manage a nice picture. happy holidays, kat!!!
Writing about biology is not as fun as just watching it or taking pictures of it, thats for sure. Happy hols to you to. Esp American Thanksgiving, one of my favorites.
