Flower Photo Competition 4 2015 : Entry Number 166
Photographers Comment
Hello! My name is Vladimir, I'm an amateur photographer from Russia.
The photo is of Calendula I gathered in our garden. It has many uses, but our family primarily uses it as a tea or for gargling to soothe a sore throat.
As I was laying the flowers out, the thought struck me that it might make an interesting photo so I went to grab my RX100. After I returned I took around 50 shots at different angles and focal lengths. This one is my favorite and was made at 28mm eq, f/1.8, 1/40 sec, ISO 1600. Processed first with VSCO preset in Lightroom and then some more in Photoshop.
I'm very happy to get a Mark of Excellence, thank you, Birgit!
