It’s not quite Valentine’s Day but the folks at WordPress went and got all mushy on us and made love the theme for their weekly photo challenge.
Here is my photo, a card my kids made for me when I wasn’t feeling well:
ISO 400 28mm -1ev f/7.1 1/25
Awww… isn’t that cute!
Cheers!
It was a bit rainy here over the weekend. I enjoy catching photos of raindrops, so I went looking for this photo, a raindrop on our Christmas lights.
ISO 200 50mm 3 exposures f/9 1/25
I used my tripod because even though the bush wasn’t going anywhere it was a bit breezy and I knew I was going to try a bracketed exposure to make an HDR image. For this image the exposures were (-1.67, -2.67, -.67) I set the exposure dark because it was hazy out, so there was a lot of light.
I then used Photomatix to make my HDR image. I picked a version that I thought brought out some of the rich color tones that were there. I put the image back into Aperture for some final tweaking. I cropped and sharpened the image a bit. I also made the top right corner a bit darker.
I’d like your opinion, would you buy a card or print of an image like this? or does the combination of rain and Christmas not appeal to you at all? Feel free to leave a comment below.
Cheers!
