Impressionistic Photography

This isn’t my usual photograph

Yesterday, as part of a product shoot for a client, I was able to capture a few pictures of beautiful Godetia – lovely flowers that come in shades of red, orange, and pink. As I was messing around with the focus ring on my lens I rolled the barrel in the opposite direction and was captivated by the effect. It turned my image into something like an impressionist painting. Its not my usual style, but I thought I’d share it with you anyway.

Sometimes it feels good just to play, to see what my camera can do outside of its (and my) usual routine. What do you think of the results? This image was captured with an Induro AKB1 Tripod mounted Canon EOS 7D and Canon 60mm Lens. Minimal processing was done in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 and the border was added in Nik Color Efex Pro 4.

Have a great weekend! Don’t forget to call your mom and/or give her a hug if she lives nearby!
