When reading Bryan Peterson’s books, I’m always amazed at how he takes things we always see in everyday life and turns them in to very cool photos. I was out recently walking through the park with my kids near sunset when I spotted this great contrast of colors on the ground with a nice orange leaf and the bright green grass. I was actually walking to another spot to take a picture of the kids, but I stopped to look down and was rewarded with this shot which I like quite a bit.
This shot was taken with a Canon 5D Mark II using a 135mm f/2 lens (courtesy of ZipLens.com) set to f/2.0 and 1/800 sec set at ISO 100. The bokeh is all natural, even though I’ve had a few people who thought I photoshopped it. What I did do in Photoshop is use Nik Software Color Efex 3.0 Complete’s Skylight Filter and then Sharpener Pro 3.0 for the final touch. I also processed an alternate version using Viveza to remove a portion the green color from the grass in about a minute.
