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.

November Garden photos using big Aperture

All photographs are taken with Canon 5d mkII and a f2.5/50mm macro lens. The use of a large aperture( in most photos f3.2) seperates the subject from the foreground or background and makes it therefore much more clear what the photographer intended to show. The blurry areas in the image create a space for the imagination and engagment of the spectator.

Ancient Trees Reenroe Beach Ballinskelligs

Reenroe beach tree stump

The recent stormy weather shiftet the sand on Reenroe beach and exposed a group of ancient trees. Apperently the trees are 4000 years old. The light today encoureged me to take some detail photos of the roots and the grain of the sea washed grain.
The photos were taken with a 50 macro lens and a Canon 5d mkII
