This Year's Model (Camellia)
© Dan McCabe
Another take on one of my camellia flowers.
This time around, I used multiple exposures focused at different depths in an attempt to get exact focus everywhere on my subject. Each of these shots was then loaded into Photoshop, which aligned them. Then I merged the stack, keeping only the sharpest parts of each photo.
This particular variant is the third one I've exhibited on Flickr. The first one was lighter and more neutral. The second was darker but more dramatic. Unfortunately, the colors were off in that variant. This variant retains some of that dark drama but addresses the blown-out color. I hope you like it :).
As the title suggests, I am revisiting this subject. It might be interesting to compare it to the last year's model:
In a lot of my flower photos, I have used a back-light to bring out the translucency of the petals. Unlike many of those photos, this photo was not back-lit.
