Challenge: Yellow Still Life (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-50D
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
Location: Madison, WI
Date: Apr 8, 2012
Aperture: 3.5
ISO: 100

Date Uploaded: Apr 8, 2012

 Came up with a number of ideas for this challenge, many of which revolved around food. Looking around the house, we just don't have many yellow objects to photograph. So in the end I came up with the classic lemonade filled pitcher. I'm betting a large number of entries in this challenge will have lemons, hopefully this sticks out a little bit form the crowd.

Lighting for this was mainly the natural morning sunlight coming through the window. but the shadows from that were very dark, so a 1/4 CTO gelled flash bounced off the ceiling helped to open the darks and provide balance to the scene.

Post Processing:
* Crop
* White balance
* Decrease exposure
* Increase black point
* Increase recovery
* Increase definition
* Increase saturation with higher vibrancy
* S-curve
* Increase shadows
* Shadows and highlights on lemon
* Eliminate reflected blue in handle
* Burn the window light very slightly
* Export as TIFF
* Resize
* Sharpen Edges
* Save as JPEG
