Beauty Inside and Out
Over six inches of snow fell over the Dayton area yesterday. All the white stuff on the ground creates the perfect light box just outside my studio window. Here I’ve photographed an orchid using just window light and a black background. The image was captured using the Canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens. I also employed a technique now available in Photoshop CS4 that effectively combines multiple exposures of the same scene, each with a different and distinct focal point, for maximum depth of field and detail.
The second image was taken later yesterday evening, just after sundown in the prairie at nearby Sugarcreek MetroPark.
