OK It's FLOWERS! Get over it. You'll also be sorry that you got me hooked on light painting. This was shot in a 8 second exposure with 4 strands of lights, 3 multicolored and 1 white. The white mixed in with the colors seems to help the image out of camera and the noise, there is a lot less of it.
Sorry about the framing of the shot so high, but work has distracted me this week.
Post Processing:
75% opacaity Adjustment layers for Levels, Brightness/Contrast and Hue/Saturation.
Unsharp Mask.
Cloned lower level of poorly lit flowers from the bottom right and left of the frame to level the bottom due to a big hump of dark in the middle. The crop sucks and I did not if extending the canvas and cloning back ground for better coposition was permissable.
Ran shot the NeatImage and cleaned up remaining noise. Framed and resized.
Could someone please point me towards a thread or a tutorial on how you do the nice line frams in from the edges of the images I see here. I like the look of them and thought it might have looked nice on this. I tried to assimilate one a best I could.
