Challenge: Pastels II (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5
Location: my kitchen
Date: Aug 2, 2011
Aperture: f 3.2
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/20
Date Uploaded: Aug 2, 2011

I wanted something simple, calm.
I used natural light from the window and tried various arrangements of different numbers of scallions. This one seemed to work best.
Post-processing:
Blurred out the background (a scratched chopping board), then adjusted levels, brightness and contrast.
Resized for web and sharpened.

White looks underexposed, shadows too strong but nice composition

nice still life. I'm enjoying the softness, shadows and compostion.

Decent placement of the bulbs, and that green does have a positive impact. But something feels off. I think it looks like some blurring was down in post processing, but there is a very definite halo of less blur around the bulbs.
