Experimenting with high-key lighting. Most of my floral work has been with a black background, so I thought I'd try white. I had trouble getting the lighting correct so the background didn't bloom into the subject. After some dialing-in, I managed to get this .. and then realize I was on ISO 800 ... several compositions later. Grrr!
Post-processing in Lightroom 2:
* + exposure
* masked out background and overexposed to remove wrinkles
* + clarity, vibrance, saturation
* + contrast
* a small degree of both color and luminance noise reduction - I couldn't do too much without losing detail.
* slap myself in the forehead (again) for forgetting about my ISO settings (again). |

Scott,
This is lovely. The lighting is perfect and the detail is good, but not overly sharp. The only thing that bothered me was the white BG.
I workshopped it (don't you love it when I verb nouns?) to show you the powerful difference.
