This shoot was completed over a lesson in the studio. I used the product table to get a clear image, I also liked the slight reflecting produced by the shine on the table in some of the images. I started out with 157 photos and widdled it down to 33.

Of those 33 I have chosen 12, out of those I have made two into black and white copies.

EDITS

For this photo I brought the exposer up to brighten it a little. Due to the fact that there is lots of texture and shape in the image, I have made a black on with copy of it.

for the two below, I brightened them up a little and made them a little more vibrant so that the colours popped out more.

FINAL PHOTOS

This is one of my favourites, it is of the skeleton of a leaf. The main vain that runs to the stem stands out and is in focus, where as where the leaf starts to curve towards the camera is out of focus, this adds an interesting depth of field to the image. The veins make a sort of maze for the viewer to follow with there eyes, adding a sort of mystique to and part of nature which most people would usually over look. this leaf has been give a sort of immortality through this photo, a second life, to live on in in a photo.
