Challenge: Flowers (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: My kitchen table
Date: Jun 29, 2006
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1 second
Galleries: Still Life, Floral
Date Uploaded: Jun 30, 2006

 I tried my Alien Bees on this shot, but wasn't getting the results I wanted. So I turned off the strobes and left the shutter open for a full second while I shined (shone?) a flashlight on the bulb and leaf. This made the bulb yellowish, so I had to desaturate it to turn it white again. Other than that, I just darkened the bottom of the shot to keep attention on the bulb, cleaned up a couple of spots and then USMed 'til done.
