Textured Strawberries

Uploaded: February 09, 2010

Description

In addition to the shot of the strawberries, I also took photos of paper textures, defined patterns from these papers and used several layer styles in Photo Shop CS4 to achieve the textured effects. I used the eraser tool to reveal the strawberries in the foreground.

My object was to mute the background strawberries to further enhance the sharper ones in the foreground.

Entered into Catch All.

Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/60 seconds, Flash: fired, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
