Day 3 – Echinacea

Echinaceaw

I stopped by North Mountain Park this morning after church with the Canon M3, my walking around camera. I experimented with all my lenses including the 28mm macro with a super macro feature, which is one of the more unique lenses available in the M mount. I still haven’t quite mastered the super macro feature. It seems like you have to be right on top of the subject to get it in focus.

But this was taken with the 50-200 zoom with a closeup lens. I was just blown away by how sharp it was in all the right places. And no, I did not add any saturation in post processing, it was just that fresh and bright. I did add a high pass filter to sharpen the details and a vignette to help make the flower the star of the show. But that’s all, really. If I were going to print it I would probably try to take out that stem on the right but all in all I would call this a pretty successful in camera capture. Good practice for my upcoming garden tour in B.C. where I will only have the small camera with me.
