\"tulip\"I stopped by Walmart to pick up a few things a few days before Valentine’s Day and this potted Tulip in the entry area caught my eye.\u00a0 As I had no plans for a field excursion this week I thought I might as well take it home to pose for me.\u00a0 I wasn’t that excited about any of the Raw images but after post processing I came up with this and thought it wasn’t too bad.\u00a0 So, what I did here was blend two images shot at f2.8 and f16 so that the flower would be mostly sharp and the background soft.\u00a0 I also borrowed a trick from Mike Moats of printing out a blurred green background which I hung up behind the flowers to eliminate distracting elements.<\/p>\n

I then took the blended image into Color Efex Pro and added a detail extractor, contrast color range, and glamour glow filter.\u00a0 Finally, I added a vignette to help focus attention on the flower.\u00a0 There is a little ghosting around the edges of the flower which I think is an artifact of the blending.\u00a0 Something I will have to work on in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
