I was wandering around the Chicago Botanic Gardens again last night and took a few pictures. All these pictures were taken with an XTi, Sigma 150mm macro f/2.8 lens, on a tripod.
A pink Rose:
1/125, 2.8, ISO 400, PP: Crop, saturation.
Berries on a tree:
1/100. 2.8. ISO 400, PP: Crop
A bird's nest:
1/100, 2.8, ISO 400, PP: not much. This shot was handheld, I couldn't get my tripod high enough to capture the nest.
A leaf dying:
1/13, 2.8, ISO 100 PP: a little sharpening, reduced the blue channel to eliminate some glare. (I am gonna get a polarizer for this lens soon)
The leaf again:
1/10, 2.8, ISO 100 PP: Same as above, plus some saturation
Waterfall:
15", 22, ISO 100, PP: Some sharpening and levels. I am really curious as why the rocks appear a little "odd" in this picture.
Leaf on a bench:
1/3, 2.8, ISO 100, PP: not much.
Wide shot of the bench:
1/4, 2.8, ISO 100, PP: contrast. I took two landscape orientation of this bench and missed the focus both times! Oh well.
Flowers and Leaves:
1/2, 2.8, ISO 400, PP: contrast and levels.
I moved the leaf:
1/4, 2.8. ISO 400 PP: contrast.
Carrillon:
1/10, 2.8, ISO 400, PP: brought the light up, some contrast, saturation.
Trees turning:
2.5", 2.8, ISO 400, PP: levels, cropping.
Any and all critiques are accepted and encouraged!
Edit: I actually got the pictures to load here now.
