lime – photoblog of a fruit

Location:

Brisbane Arcade

The Setup:

This was from the Adelaide Street entrance to the arcade. It's very bright, colourful (in a restrained fashion) and boutiquey.

@ 77/20mm
Exposure: 1/15" @ f/28/10, ISO 160

Post processing:

Lightroom - The image was a bit dull, so I tried to get some pop. Curves - highlights +100, lights +50, darks +20, shadows -60. This got the pop I wanted, but then the lights on the ceiling were blown out, so recovery up to 70 to mitigate that.

The wash-up:

The angle isn't quite square on.

What do you think?

All constructive criticism is welcome! Please let me know what you think, and what you don't like about the picture. Everything is on the table, including the setup, equipment used, and the post processing. Nothing is off-limits and I'm always eager to learn!
