Studioshot without studio
This shot was made studio like... without a studio. Taken on an Olympus E-PL1 with 14-42mm kit lens. The flower was on a vase, against a (distant) yellow background- a wall - with the sun light on it. Exposure made for the flower, on spot metering mode, helped to blow the highlights in the background.
Some final work in Lightroom 3 and this is the result, made with an "amateur" camera. I choose the square shape because I had some dark area in the low section of the image that I could not get rid of... unless I "photoshopped" it, what I did not want to do. So this is the truth in front of the photographer - with some personal interpretation - to show what can be done with a small camera. Taken on a backyard in Lisbon.
Aaah, the ISO was on auto because the light levels on the flower where low and I was handholding the camera. So it's 500 ISO and still detail is there, even on the original.
