One of the first good shots with my new macro rig. This is about a

5:1 magnification onto a 23mm sensor.

I overexposed the petals so that they would appear pure white with the

highlights blown out, and so that the halos around the petals would

appear. I modified the color in photoshop so that the background

would come out pur green, but the petals and polen would still be the

correct color (just oversaturated).

Monitor calibration makes a big difference in how this image looks.

When I view this on a LCD monitor it looks cold and flat, but on a

calibrated CRT the clouds have much more depth.

Taking off. No modifications except cropping the image. The damn

things are too fast to give me much time to compose.

I was trying to get sliver of bright ligt at the end of a dark alley.

The blooming was intentional, and I helped it along a bit with the

contrast adjustment in photoshop.

I was attempting to get the sky/cloud contrast and the building detail

into the same shot. I used a polarizer to help darken the sky.
