Week 10

Close Up 2


Close Up 1
Original
I caught this little guy hanging out on one of my plants a few summers ago.  I was pretty amazed by the fact the it stood still long enough to get this shot.  The original photo is a pretty large file so I have it here as an extra large image.  When I magnified in on the fly I was pretty amazed on how much detail I was able to capture.  I wish I had a macro lens back then (sigh).  In Close up 1 I just tweaked the exposure and contract.  In Close Up 2, I played around with it so much I'm not really sure what I used to get the effect.  I think it came out pretty cool though.  So there you have it, one photo became three.

  1. I think I prefer Close-Up2. I like the high saturation, and think the noise that you got because of it suits him quite well. He looks a little alien that way, which a lot of insects do if you shoot them with a macro lens, so I think it's a good idea to enhance that effect :)
