So, I swung by North Mountain Park again after church. This time I used the big girl camera hand held with the Sweet 50 lens. I have a hard time holding that big camera steady but it is easier to get down to the level of the flowers. This one has a lot going on in post processing. I did a high pass filter, then added a texture. I really like the purples of the lavender behind the marigold but wanted to soften them a little more. Then I took the whole thing into Topaz Impression and added a chalk-smudge filter which I lowered to 50% giving me a look I like though maybe it still need a vignette but I’m done messing with it for now. The end game here is to get a few great shots that can be printed large on canvas for a show. I’m still on the fence on this one but it might work.
