Sunflower Exposure

]]> Sunflower Exposure is a shot where I purposely overexposed the petals for two reasons. First I wanted to bring out the central part along with the bee. Second I wanted to canvas the background in yellow and green colors to form more of a texture or pattern rather than a flower. I also wanted this photo to come out more saturated and bright. Very little Photoshop was used on this photo. You can see how one can really alter the color, texture, and brightness of a photo just by fiddling with the exposure. This was a fun shot.

Sunflowers in Nagano City Japan

]]> Sunflowers are starting to bloom here in Japan. There are many around where I live and I think they are quite fabulous to see. They can get pretty big and the yellow is very beautiful. This is just a short clip taken with the Creative Vado HD to give you an idea of how they can be seen in Japan. This particular shot was taken near Nagano city in a residential area. Although these are pretty big, you can actually find sunflowers much bigger than this around the countryside. There are also a lot of bees around them too so you have to be careful.

Sakana Fan Japan

]]> Contrast and Color is what prompted me to take this photo. It was shoot through a glass window thus you get slight streaks in the wood which gives it a unique look so it didn’t bother me at all. I actually like the added texture to the photo that reflections and marks on glass can achieve. I probably should have bought this fan as it was pretty colorful in the window. It definitely stood out.
