Photo of the Week 2/12/21
Happy December, everyone! This week’s Photo of the Week is of some beautiful berries, and was actually taken at Blists Hill Victorian Town. As mentioned in some of our previous posts, Phil loves taking macro photos, so when these berries caught his eye he couldn’t miss the opportunity to photograph them.
Camera details:
Camera: Olympus E-P7
ISO: 320
Shutter Speed: 1/100s
Lens: Olympus M.14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ
Aperture: F5.6
Focal Length: 42.0mm
In terms of editing, the photo was taken RAW and then edited in Lightroom. Phil started by reducing the highlights and saturation, and increasing the shadows, across the whole picture. He then created a subject mask of the leaves and berries and increased the saturation, clarity and contrast across them to really highlight them as the subject of the photo and to bring out the finer details on them as well. He also increased the shadows and highlights to really make the berries “pop”.
As we get into the cold weather and closer to the holiday season, we hope you’re all doing well, and we really hope these Photos of the Week help bring a bit of brightness to these colder days. Have a great week, everyone!
