Alien nightmares are made of this…
… though they are nice to eat too. :)
Recently I have been playing a bit with my Carl Zeiss Flektogon vintage lens. This image was taken during a visit to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) garden at Wisley. Wisley is one of the largest of their sites and is full of interesting plants all neatly labelled and planted in acres of crafted garden. You can wander for days, especially if you have a camera and a macro lens…
This is an artichoke from the vegetable patch. It looks really villainous if you get up close and crop out the context. Tastes lovely though ;)
For the Macro Wednesday group.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Mittwochsmakro :)
[Handheld in daylight.
Developed in Capture One for colour and soft detail.
Processed in Affinity with a square crop, High Pass/Linear Light blend and USM sharpening and a strong, but soft, dark vignette. Curves adjustment in LAB mode both to enhance the colour contrast and to control the tones; reduced saturation in an HSL adjustment and changed the hue of the reds to something warmer for better colour matching.]
