Flora

Flora- the historically established set of plant species distributed in a specific territory (“flora of Russia”) or in a territory with certain conditions (“flora of swamps”) at the present time or in past geological epochs. In practice, the expression “Flora of the territory” is often understood not by all the plants of a given territory, but only by vascular plants (Tracheophyta) (that is, seed and fern-like plants); plants of other groups, as a rule, are considered separately due to the peculiarities of the method of collection and determination. Houseplants, plants in greenhouses and other structures with an artificial climate are not part of the flora.

I caught a butterfly with a lily. In a hurry, the butterfly did not have time to focus ... :(

A little cottage:

Not all good shots. At the first, the back yellow background interferes, and the flower turned out to be small. the second is the lack of lighting. Faded.

the color scheme would correct ... in both pictures

hemul @ 09/09/07 10:37:15

On the first, a small bright flower was specially shot against the background of a huge lily. So for me - the background was just thinking. Perhaps - it was not possible to convey the idea. And on the second - again, the cold evening gamma was conceived, in order to convey the mood. Well, in the end, not a manual in the textbook botany shot

really liked the photo! Wonderful idea and not a bad performance! It's a pity, some rough edges interfere: the petal of a chamomile is cut a little and you want a little brighter colors - after all, the sunny mountain air should be felt. Here ... a bit of shamanism in Photoshop ... Slightly added saturation to the frame, brightness to the flower, blur on the petals and sharpe on the stamens ... It would be better if the same could be done with the original file and not with compressed and otrezayzeny ...

The idea is good, but unfortunately the technique failed. Firstly, the card has an obvious underexposure and another problem arises from this - a camera with a very narrow DD (Dynamic Range), which, as a result, does not allow all colors to be pulled out of work. Therefore, if possible, shoot in RAW format. If this is not possible, then BB (White Balance) manually, in your work - sunny, and put not an estimated metering (across the entire field of the frame), but a point meter (at the focus point)

ivina, I really liked the first fungus. Well got! ;) Do you mind if we make a Lalech from him out of it?

1. Resize. In this embodiment, the fungus has a much greater meaning. The central location of the main element - it is always not good, if not justified by any special plans.
2. I threw it into the color space LAB and pulled up the levels in channels "a" and "b" - added color saturation
3. Added a mask for shading a forest ... Bright spots in it distract ...
4. Slightly added sharpness. In an amicable way, it was also necessary to do it through a mask, so that the sharpness was added selectively, and the blurry areas were not noisy.
That's better?

BombilCalabasov @ 09/11/07 10:21:29 PM

Your idea is understandable, but some mistakes prevented us from making the frame more interesting:
1. Too bright sun flare on the right flower increased the exposure on the left ... You could turn on the built-in flash for the backlight - this could save the shot.
2. Compositional error - cut all the petals. Neither the left nor the right flower fit into the frame. It's a pity.
3. Where is the sharpness?

zazan, beautiful flowers. But either on purpose, or for some reason, while shooting, White's balance was set to “Artificial light”, as a result, the color temperature in the image is too “cold” - everything went blue. You can try to fix it in Photoshop like this:

Was the wall in reality blue or was it white?

[email protected] 02:26:23

BombilCalabasov, the wall is white.
as for color, it is a matter of taste. I like softer, more natural.

Slid @ 09/17/07 11:27:29

BombilCalabasov, the case was likely like this:

proceeded from the fact that the flower on top should still be white.

Pumpkin in the garden in Suzdal. Test shots of Pentax 100d. From editing, only a bit of sharpness is added.

I make my contribution to the mushroom theme

Alex Levy, about "mushrooms". There are no complaints about the exposure. Despite the flash head-on, the frame did not go flat because of the small depth of field. Those. rear mushrooms are separated from the front very naturally. The only flaw is the frame layout. It would be necessary not just to “cut off from above”, but to shift the entire frame below, so that the bottom cribs also entered the frame. And even better - use the vertical frame format.

the Rose

[Alex Levy]

I will lay out one rosette.

Although, in my opinion, the flowers here, and so enough. It seems it's time to tie it up. I promise I won't do it again.

BombilCalabasov @ 09/23/07 11:55:41

Alex Levy, the theme is originally created for flowers, so why limit them? The genre, by the way, is quite difficult to master. A lot of technical aspects and subtle details that need to be considered ...
By the way, your picture fully confirms this. You had a white balance set to "Auto", and as a result, you get a "blue" overexposure on the flowers. Not beautiful. And the auto exposure played a cruel joke, highlighting the dark flowers. It was necessary to at least switch on +/- 1 or even 2/3 ...

comments and critics pliz

BombilCalabasov @ 09/23/07 11:55:41

Snarkota, not bad, not bad. I liked the processing ... But in your case, I would like to close the diaphragm more, because GRIP painfully narrow turned out. On the 200mm lens, the sharpness is not enough at all for the 5.6 aperture. For this picture to separate the background flowers from the main one, it would be necessary to ensure that all the petals of the main one were sharp. More precisely, it was necessary to catch the DOF so that everything from the center of the flower to the endings of the distant leaves was sharp. Well, and the front ones, so be it, can go into blurriness ... Maybe it would be worth raising ISO a little? Exposure and so small ...
