Very nice technique, not to mention, a lovely flower.

Nice stuff in here!


Nikon D3100 and a few point and shoots. I also like to take micrographs with a digital otoscope.

I tried a new technique with this peony. Shot in broad daylight and intentionally underexposed to fade out the background. Slight HSL edits and a few finishing touches added in LR & PS.

Very nice ... but how did you get the background to be completely black? Is that post production?

Most of it was done in camera, but I did have to pull it more in post. I under exposed to -3 with exposure compensation, and I used my external flash to make sure I pulled all of the white on the flower. Here it is SOOC:

As you can see, even with the flash it was still a little underexposed, so using LR I brought up the whites and darkened the blacks and increased contrast. I also added a slight amount of clarity, vibrance & saturation. I am looking forward to fine-tuning this technique and trying it on many other things!
