Challenge: Textures III (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Lensbaby 2.0
Location: Brisbane
Date: Jul 17, 2005
Aperture: lensbaby 2.0 f2.0
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/40
Date Uploaded: Jul 17, 2005

Dried out protea flower shot with lensbaby 2.0 and 12mm extension tube. Sharpen A 20, R 250, T 0, Sharpen again A33, R 33, Resize, Sharpen again A 100, R 0.3, Save for web - Image Ready - Hue/Sat - Save.

The lensbaby, being plastic, doesn't affect the reading of the aperture on the camera, and shows up as 00 when shooting. I can change the aperture of the lens though, by using aperture rings. I left it at f2.0, that is, no ring.

There were many shots defining textures this week. But there was only one that defined me ... this one. I am so intrigued by this piece that so clearly goes beyond a theme challenge and floats into abstracted art as unobtrusively as a quiet whisper of wind through the fertile folds of a living being. My personal blue for the week and added to my favorites.

Nice capture! It has an abstract feeling...look like a painting! :)

Nice isolation of central image using shallow depth of field....details crisp.

Interesting abstraction. Unfortunately to my eye, nothing seems to be in sharp focus.

love it - the soft focus (? blur?) works extremely well at bringing my attention inwards

great lighting

Wow this looks like a fantasy thing or something... And it all focuses toward that little itty bitty fluff there.... Excellent.

Pretty abstract but it catches attention. Like the play with blured.

Ok after voting and going back, this was one of the ones that I bumped up a notch. I really do like this shot, and I have found my self drawn back to it at least a half a dozen times. I think what I like about this photo is that you nailed texture for one, and for two the colors in the back are absolutely gorgeus. Very warm, and cozy, maybe soothing is a good word. Anyway, gl to ya mate, i hope you do well.

Such beautiful light...luminous perfection.

Oh I like this alot. Soft focus is perfect. Light and dark is used effectively and I like the muted warm tones. Nice!!! 8
