we had strawberries for lunch, plus I got to play with my close up filters! [This attachment has been purged. Older attachments are purged from time to time to conserve disk space. Please feel free to repost your image.]
Mouth watering picture! Could you give the details on what lens and filters you used? Also, your camera settings? Thanks! This shot and your castles one's look almost 3-D-ish.
thanks everyone. I used my 18-200 vr lens with Hoya close up filter +2. It is part of this set: http://www.adorama.com/HY77CUS.html my favorite settings on my camera (Nikon D80) are to shoot A, S, M, or P. To get my favorite look I go to the shooting menu (camera icon) and go to optimize image, then to custom setting. I leave everything set at normal (sharpness, contrast) except saturation, I set that to +enhanced. That gives me the bold colors I like. Unless you shoot people, then I go to that same optimize image and set to portrait, then people dont turn red. In +enhanced people turn red and freckles are exaggerated too much. For this strawberry picture I also set White Balance to sunny, to make sure the red was cool in color. At the park I like to shoot White Balance to cloudy to make the colors warmer. If you go into the optimize image menu and just pick "more vivid" for your pictures it also increases sharpness and contrast which can make some images to intense and unnnatural looking. I also took pictures of Dina's eyeshadow yesterday. For this picture I did set to "more vivid" to get the lines extra sharp. Both of these pictures are also cropped to get the composition I wanted.
