lime – photoblog of a fruit

Location:

Seven Hills, Qld

The Setup:

Spent an afternoon and evening at the abandoned TAFE. This is a concrete couch with tiles. Mick is paranoid.

The camera & lens:

Camera: Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 USM IS @ 15mm
Exposure: 31/1" @ f/5.0, ISO 400 (0/3)

Post processing:

Lightroom 4 -

1. Presence: Exposure +0.85 stops
2. Curves: Hightlights -100, lights +55, darks -5, shadows +10
3. Noise reduction: Luminance +25
4. Post-crop vingetting: Amount -100, midpoint 43, roundness -3, feather 100 (to create the claustrophobic feel)
5. Crop and rotate

The wash-up:

This was Mick's idea and he executed it perfectly.

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!
