The Quiet Picture

Random rants and occasional photographs

After the rain

…comes the sun. Even the wind was behaving itself so I got some flower photography done for a change.

Don’t ask me how I did the background in this one. It was grass and it wasn’t very far away but somehow it seems to have been far enough. All I did was to adjust white balance (auto setting in Lightroom!) and added a little bit of vignetting (I have to watch out because I’m starting to like the vignetting effect). Everything else felt like overkill, but that’s viewing this on my PowerBook so it will be interesting to see how my home PC displays the same image.

    Nice composition, color, DOF and BG! However, the artifacts disturb a bit but might be the laptop screen of yours.

    Thanks for the comments (for the other new posts as well)! And thanks for mentioning the artifacts. My laptop screen shows some pixelation in colour gradients and I’m so used to it that I didn’t realise I was over-compressing the pictures. I will have to fix the pix at home on my PC and proper monitor…
