After the show...

Post by Cyclops »

...comes the fruit!
Bluebells from my garden (not the native species) producing seeds.
Processed from RAW in DPP, tweaked and cleaned up in PSE.
Lit with a wandering LED torch; I find moving it about reduces hot spots on shiny objects.

Correct. This increases the effective area of the torch, making it act like a more diffuse light source.

Thanks Rik! That background was a pig to sort out! In the RAW file it was a dirty salmon pink colour due to mixed lighting and a long exposure (60W tungsten ceiling light), and I had to play about with curves on the RGB tab and other settings-took me ages! I think it was worth it in the end.
