While out walking came across this Aloe flower in full bloom. I created the image with my Lumix pocket camera ZS50
ISO 400
28.7 mm at
f 5.6 at 1/200 sec.
Post was done in LR and Topaz Studio. I also did a conversion to B&W in Topaz Studio and B&W Effects.
CC’s welcome.
Very nice result …
Looks good, like a big red firework
Aloe-Aloe that’s a great macro
Actually, a close up following post as it was shot through a fence with a reasonably wide angle lens.
Very nice work, image does look very natural! I especially like the colors.
Wow, I didn’t know Aloe’s had blooms like that. We have several plants in the house but they have never produced blooms.
Stunning image …
Thank you Kenneth…while the in camera colors were there Topaz Studio provided the tools to really bring them out.
Kathy, to be honest with you we have some blossoms that are similar in our garden but I had never seen something this munificent. Neither my wife, who is a real green thumb, nor I, who deeply appreciates the majesty of plants and flowers but know little about them, could identify this flower. An image search on Google, a first for me, yield this identity.
Thank you all for your encouraging comments. I am still learning Topaz Studio but I am so enthusiastic with what it can help me achieve.
