Photography : Photo Of The Week : #29 11.07.2001
 


Here's a shot from the Morton Arboretum in Lisle Illinois.  Not much to say about this shot.  God did the work, and I stepped in at the right time to take a little credit.  More photos from the arboretum are included in my Photo Album.

Upon close inspection of the shot, I realized that the bottom portion of the leaf is out of focus.  A little more attention to the depth of field would have prevented the problem.  The darker areas of the shot ended up being a bit grainy.  But that was only a small problem since they were already intended to be out of focus -- a few strokes with Photoshop's blur tool, and the problem was corrected.  I finished up with a minute amount of sharpening in Photoshop.
