Ambien No Prescription This isn’t the time of the year to be walking through a tall grass prairie. It is as dense as a thicket in a forest. Many of the prairie flowers bloom in July and August, some are already setting to seed. The Compass Plant, Indian Plantain, False Indigo, Orange Milkweed, Black Eyed Susans and Purple Coneflowers are some of the plants that will grow tall enough to make a hike through this area difficult. There are also four main grasses which grow in thick clumps — Little Bluestem, Big Bluestem, Indiangrass, and Switchgrass. It is not unusual to have many plants swaying three to six feet above your head.

Wild Columbine

https://www.ztpackaging.com/soft-loop/ Skirting the rocks at the forest edge
With a running flame from ledge to ledge,
Or swaying deeper in shadowy glooms,
A smoldering fire in her dusky blooms;
Bronzed and molded by wind and sun,
Maddening, gladdening every one
With a gypsy beauty full and fine —
Health to the crimson columbine!

Three Wild Roses

go site I’m fond of the wild roses that grow in the garden. I prefer them to the tea roses, not that those roses aren’t beautiful, only that they require much maintenance this far north to keep them healthy. After planting the hybrids two years in a row and losing a total of six out of six plants, I returned to the old garden standard.

Dancing with Poppies

Poppy - Bi-color Filter

Poppy - Bi-color Filter © 2011 Bo Mackison

As promised in my last post, here is another version of my abstract photograph of a poppy using Nik Color Efex Pro™ 3.0 software. In this photograph I used the Bi-color Filter which gives the photograph a combination of pink and purple highlights. After I added the filter, I worked with the many adjustments until it was to my liking.

I learned from my Nik experience that one should “never say never.” For the last few years, I chose not to do much post processing to my photographs. I  think it was a good decision as I needed to learn the basics first, and using post processing software takes control out of a novice’s hands and gives it to the computer and the software. Before I was comfortable using software such as Photoshop or Nik, I needed to know what I could do without using photo recipes and quick pre-sets.

I now have a better understanding of what I can do with a photograph using a program like Adobe Lightroom which is more of an organizational and basic processing program. I also have an understanding of what I want a photograph to convey to my audience. My intention has always been to not over-process a photo so it had that over-saturated Photoshop look. (Though occasionally in my experimenting I have a photo that is heavily processed that I do like – never say never!) But now I am in a better place to add software processing to my repertoire.

Waiting had some decided advantages. Not only did I learn how to do many things step by step instead of in a pre-set. I also gave myself enough time to get comfortable with the camera, the computer, and Lightroom without adding more pressure to learn another complicated program. I’m happy I waited. And I am happy with my new results.

Visions of Poppies Dance in My Head

Poppy - Tonal

Poppy – Tonal Contrast © 2011 Bo Mackison

I’m experimenting with my favorite flower from last spring – the pink poppy. I am slowly exploring a few post processing techniques. For several years I refused to try any pre-sets, instead choosing to do everything one step at a time. Every change in a photograph was a small change I chose. And I did many behind the scenes changes, but always with the intention of maintaining the look of original as I had visualized it.

Then I met Mike Moats at the Leeper Park Art Fair (South Bend) in June, and as we each looked at each other’s booth and art, Mike told me about the Nik software he is using almost exclusively for post processing. He invited me to attend a webcast he was giving on Using Nik Software.

I penciled the webcast in on my calendar, and then watched Mike demonstrate the Nik software, making tiny change after tiny change. The part that surprised me was that he often made the changes that I thought would be good changes to make. We were, if not the same wavelength, perhaps on neighboring wavelengths.

I was quite impressed with the software, and realized that the presets were only the jumping off stage — once you choose a preset, there are a million opportunities to individualize each photograph.

The above macro photo of the pink poppy did not have as much detail as I had hoped for at the focal point where the two rain-soaked petals overlap. I used the Nik preset called Tonal Contrast, and the raindrops suddenly popped off the screen. It provided a boost in the detail and I was able to get the abstract look I wanted.

So far, I’ve experimented with three different pre-sets on this poppy, plus many more on other photographs. I’ll post the original poppy plus the modified photos later this week.
