very cool effect

but i think in this instance you could of used a flash to light the blossom a little

wendellt I shot this in raw...on the whole I am new to both the DSLR & PP world...other than driving back up there is there anyway to correct this photo?
I only just brought my SB-600 and for some reason always forget to pull it out and put it on...still trying to get the feel of when to use it and when not to :oops: :oops: :shock: :roll:

Ree,

Even the built-in flash would have helped this along, but how did you shoot this? In Raw?


Load the image into NCE or PS, and have a play with the curves and see what sort of changes that will make to this image.

It lacks punch to me, and I think that a simple curves adjustment will help it greatly in that regard.

Ree, I like it as well but agree with the comments it will have more punch after some PP

Gary...due to my mmmm lack of knowledge with flash, and exposure settings :oops: i have found it a must to shot in raw! I have a stack of CF cards so I dont worry about how much space I need for one photo...
As I am neither that great on PP (boy I sound lame :lol: ) I find it much easier to fix my "stuff ups" if I am in raw. I haven't have much of a play with curves before, so tonight I think I will see what I can do...thanks for the advise..........

VK4CP...I am thinking that I might go back up there and have a go at redoing this with the fill in flash and using my SB-600...I will also have a go at getting abit more closer to see how that looks as well...the FE lens sure is different to anything I have used :D ............

Glen...thanks......
