Exploring Macro Photography: Transforming Floral Images

Exploring Macro Photography: Transforming Floral Images

As I keep experimenting with different methods to render photographs, I’ve been delving into the manipulation of macro images. Enhancing flowers is quite challenging, but I’m eager to create more artistic representations of floral images. All the pictures presented here originated as macros and have undergone various manipulations. None of them involve A.I. technology.

I’ll be doing more of these and continuing to experiment, so I welcome your feedback.

  1. Can you indicate for each of these what manipulations you applied to get to the result you’ve shown?

    1. I save/catalog all my images in Capture One and start with raw conversion and post-capture processing there. All of these images have had various tonal modifications. In image #2, for instance, I wanted enhance the colors. In image #5, I flattened the color a bit and significantly enhanced the soft focus. I also increased the shadows in #5 in order to bring in the background. After exporting from Capture One, I applied double-exposure effects using Nik Analog Efex to all except #5. Most are a mix of various linear displacements. But #1 is a rotational displacement.
