Oak leaf brooch


SILVER OAK LEAF BROOCH ON JEWELER'S VELVET, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 24, 2009

Pentax *ist DS
90mm Tamron SP AF f2.8 macro
1/4 sec. f11
ISO 400

While teaching myself the ropes of Lightroom 3.0, the latest version of the Adobe photo post processor, I rediscovered a photo that I'd taken with a new macro lens last fall. The original shot was OK, but a little encouragement with Lightroom's new features enhanced the color, contrast and sharpness, bringing out the artist's careful veining of the leaf.
