Day 29



My challenge this week is to use my Lensbaby lens.  Particularly when using it with the macro attachment, it is a challenge because the focal point can really move around.  I made it extra challenging today shooting small flora on a windy day.  The top photo is a flower seed head I think, with all the seeds blown off into the wind.  I may revisit this one with a regular macro lens.  The bottom one is a bit of post-processing trickery.  The flower is really bright orange in the petals.  To highlight the center (and in focus) portion, I used Lightroom to selectively change the levels of exposure for the petals.  A little clunky - you can see some of the orange still in the petals, but it does put more emphasis on the center portion.
