Inside Flowers Today

[jcdeboever]

Feeling a little out of sorts today, so I decided to take some indoor flower shots. Using my D3300, Sigma 17-50mm, tripod, no flash, (2)100w 5000K bulbs @Derrel recommended for making people pupils smaller when taking portraits in the studio. Spent a whopping $5.00 for these. C & C welcome.

1. ƒ/5.6, 0.250 s (1/4), 100 ISO, Spot metering

2. ƒ/5.6, 0.167 s (1/6), 100 ISO, Spot metering

3. ƒ/5.6, 1.600 s, 100 ISO, Spot metering

Well done. The contrast is a bit high on the last one.

BTW, the pupil in #2 still looks dilated to me ...

Lol, thanks. I played around with that last one a bunch and I couldn't quite figure it out. I may re-shoot it. The flowers are naturally over saturated. They were very bright in store which is why I chose them. Photographing them was harder than normal and I didn't expect that.

I did a quick desaturated edit. Is this better? I calibrated my monitor last night and it is driving me insane.

Yeah, I think that's better. It's difficult with very saturated colors. Sometimes you can't even fix it after the fact by adjusting saturation if you've blown out one of the color channels in the raw file.

Thanks men. Appreciate it.
