Convocation 2016
Out of all the hundreds of photos I took during this graduation, this one very quiet photo stands above the rest.
Easy
Who can pass up taking photos of tulips? It’s really (REALLY) hard to take a BAD photo of them!
Wide-Open
Gotta love a fast lens. This was shot at f1.8 ISO 400 and 1/5000 of a second. 🙂
Chromatic Aberration a.k.a. Purple Fringing
While not a spectacular or creative photo by any means, I was really surprised by how much Chromatic Aberration was visible in this shot.
(The photo used in the banner has the CA removed…)
It was taken on a bright and clear day around noon, so the light was pretty terrible (harsh) for photos, but that being said the amount of fringing on the original image was a shocker. Here’s a copy of the original image with the CA. Checkout the highlights in the flourishes on the top of the column under the word “School”.
As you can see lightroom did a really good job removing/reducing this “purple fringing” in my banner image.
Blue to Grey
We finally get a decent stretch of weather with some beautiful blue skies and what do I do? Strip out the color and go greyscale again. At least there are lots of different tones in this photo…
