Nature's Beauty |
I photographed the above Purple Coneheads in
Youngsville, Louisiana. In post processing I decided to increase the contrast
of this image in-order to give it just a little-bit of a surreal look. When
photographing Botanicals (plant-life) you need to take the time to walk around
the plant to find the best angles. There may be many. Photograph them all. You
also need to look beyond your subject to find the best backgrounds to enhance
your image. In the above photograph I used the tall grasses as a backdrop. If
you take a little time to study your subject and the surroundings you may find
that half of the work has already been done before you even start post
processing.
