From the Photographic Object to the Image

The original object, good shapes but the colour was not working for me.

Transition to black and white and split toning in Lightroom 6- dark line on table removed with spot removel tool

Transition to black and white and split toning in Lightroom 6 -other angle and other format

Transition to black and white and split toning in Lightroom 6- opposite end

Transition to black and white and split toning in Lightroom 6- detail photo with open Aperture

All photos were taken with Canon 5D mkII and 50mm 2.5 macro lens.


Try out a few different angles and select an object not to small for the start. If you work with a tripod try small Aperture settings as well.
I could see a single photo as the result or a triptych of portrait shapes.

The autumn light currently is always a reason to get out of the house and take photos. One of the best location would be Killarney National Park due to its great mix of lakes, forests and mountains.
Even Red Dear, eagles and other animals can be photographed with a bit of knowledge and luck.
The photos above were taken last Saturday on a beautiful day around the park. A nice lady showed me even a Strawberry Tree with fruits! Bring the tripod and go for a nice walk!
