Ed Godden is a professional photographer. He has 14 years of experience in sports and press photography. But he also likes to take photos of nature especially in a Rain forest. I read one of the lesson he taught in a Digital Camera magazine on taking photo at your own backyard. I find it interesting because although I have been in photography for two years, I have never thought of doing what he did. He taught us on being creative with our macro shot by eliminating background images. It is simple. Unfortunately, I didn't have two items, a sturdy tripod and also a thick white cardboard. Anyway, I proceeded with my experiment. Feel free to comment yeah?
(This is the first shot I took. As you can see, there are background images)
(Then, I put a white A4 size paper. The best material will be a cardboard)
(Then, this is the result. I have a white background and I definitely can frame this photo up)The last photo was edited through these editing tools:
1. Colour curve
2. Contrast Enhancement
3. Sharpening
4. Vignetting

ReplyDeleteI like the end result! Nice and the white background makes it look all the more better.
ReplyDeleteDid you shoot with a macro lens? Beautiful details of the flower.
wah..cool. Macam mahu cuba ni :D. Anyway, Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletei like the last shot. it is something i could try
ReplyDeleteThe last photo without background is elegant but I like the first image too.
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful picture!!
ReplyDeleteActually I prefer the 1st one with blury background. I have very limited photography knowlegde. Maybe that's the reason I can't see the beauty of the transformed. haha....but good effort.
ReplyDeleteit has different feel if a small change. Took it with Macro or no?
ReplyDeletehi willie ref yr hotel comment, i dont think there r any 5 star hotels in Sibu at the moment but RH Hotel is new and Tanah Mas is also right in the centre of town. Personally I would prefer Kingwood for its gym n pool.
ReplyDeleteAh, nice to create a contrast to make the photo more interesting!
ReplyDeleteNice. Now I have a new technique :-)
ReplyDeleteNorris :Ya kah bro. Ok thanks.

GhostyNana :Yes. I used a standard lense but used the macro function.
BengBeng Thanks for the Info. Once I am there, you must belanja me makan. Hahah
Pete :Thanks bro.
Cyril :You should try with your digicam. It is possible bro.
If I may eliminate the background images, I will just use Photoshop, hehee! Though I like the faded background, it reveals the motiv more significantly.
ReplyDeleteCool bro. Thanks kerana berkongsi. Pas tok boleh lah try
ReplyDeleteMacam dlm studio :)
