\"tulipx4-1\"<\/p>\n

It’s that time of year when shooting macro generally means turning my kitchen into a photo studio.\u00a0 I also just got the full package of Nik software so have been experimenting with different effects.\u00a0 First the capture, for this image I used a technique I’m really starting to like.\u00a0 I shot this tulip using a shallow depth of field and then, using a tripod of course, switched it up to a sharp focus.\u00a0 Then I took the two images into Photoshop and blended them so that the flower was sharp while the background was soft.\u00a0 I then took the resulting image into Viveza and added structure to bring out the details in the flower even more.\u00a0 Then I took the image into Color Efex Pro and just started playing around with different filters.<\/p>\n

Starting from the upper left and going clockwise….in the first image I added a bi-color filter with a warm color on top and a green on the bottom.\u00a0 This warmed up the flower and softened the highlights.\u00a0 Next I tried the Infrared film filter to get the dark flower in the upper right.\u00a0 Then I switched out the options in the IR film filter to get the false color image in the lower right.\u00a0 Finally, I did a simple black and white conversion for the one on the lower left.<\/p>\n

I like them all.\u00a0 Comment if you have a favorite!<\/p>\n
