This is the last shot from the bouquet of flowers. Was told to try different angles of flowers and I do a lot of head on shots of the flowers. This was a different one that I think turned out well. The tiniest slider work. As with the last, low ISO, tiny aperture, and long shutter speed. No healing tools. #macro #macrophotography #macroflower #purpleflower #photoexperiment #2023photochallenge

Another shot of no real subject having the multiple subjects be the subject. I didn't know flowers were so fuzzy! Low ISO, tiny aperture, and a long shutter speed to compensate. I had to bring the exposure up but then add contrast and other sliders to make it pop a little too. #flowers. #macrophotography #macro #macroflower #photoexperiment #2023photochallenge

This one I was playing with depth of field and contrast. I was trying to get all the yellow frame to be in focus but I guess there was too much dimension in the yellows. I had a low ISO, tiny aperture, and slow shutter. I got half of it. Next time I will pay attention to the focus before moving on. #yellowflower #yellow #macrophotography #macro #macroflower #photoexperiment #2023photochallenge

So this was a shot that tried to combined night time photography and macro photography. The spider was active at night and the movement plus trying to focus in the dark made me miss the spider but get the prey. I think I want to try this again. #photoexperiment #spider #nightphotography #macrophotography #photoshopedit #2023photochallenge

For better or worse, I got another shot at the sunrise this morning. I blinked and it was there, I took about 50 shots with various exposures. This involved a bunch of slider work. I was told expose for the highlights and develop for the shadows in my night time class and I tried that here. I think this was a good shot and cropped it to get the sun at the top left intersection. #sun #hazy #canadafires #chillicotheohio #sunrise #photoexperiment #2023photochallenge

One of my attempts this morning to catch the haze of the Canadian wildfires in Ohio. By the time I got home from the dog walk and got back out with my camera I missed my shot. Will try again tomorrow. Heavy slider work to bring the sun into some sort of unblownout circle. #photoexperiment #photoshopedit #sun #hazyday #canadianwildfire #summer #2023photochallenge

This was an attempt to stop the car but blur the background. Closest I got to making it happen. I got more work to do but with a light just a few meters away it is hard to get a track on cars. I will try again another time. #photoexperiment #shutterspeedphotography #jeep #2023photochallenge

2023 Photo Challenge 164/365
This was delay as I broke my habit with some weekend plans and need to start taking photos again.

This real plant was sitting with the light hitting it and the TV behind it. I tried to fake a background with my TV. The lighting is really off and could have focused a little better but it was a good experiment that I can start to tweak. There was slider work to try to get the highlights of the real plant under control. #photoexperiment #flowers #2023photochallange

This was a shot from my night time photography. The assignment was either landscape or water, leaning to water. It is strange when you do night time photography cause you look kind of shady. A cop circled around and thought I wasn't a worry. There was a lot of slider action. #night #nighttimephotography #lake #water #photoexperiment #pier #photoshopedit #2023photochallenge

This was a macro water shot I attempted. I used a pencil to focus but seems when the food coloring hit the water it spread in three dimensions. There are some parts I think I got in focus but it is also water and diffusion. Next time I would try a less soluble color in the water. #photoexperiment #macro #water #2023photochallenge
