Flarey Thistles

Location:

Brisbane Rd, Bundamba

The Setup:

These thistles caught the morning light. I wasn't sure about the right exposure, so bracketed the shots.

Bags "The Flarey Thistles" as a band name.

The camera & lens:

Camera: Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 USM IS @ 80mm
Exposure: 1/250" @ f/9.0, ISO 400 (3/3)

Post processing:

Lightroom 4 - Very mild processing here.

  1. Curves: Lights +25, darks -25

The wash-up:

I didn't plan this out at all, and I'm happy with it. The other flare I was going for was in the afternoon, but I don't get home early enough in the winter to do this.

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!
