Sony DSLR "Picture of the day"

[Elisha]

Nice clown Elisha, but especially the flowers in your previous picture. Is the 'shaded corners' thing post processed, or in the shot, and in any case how? I've occasionally gotten it in shots, but never on purpose, and haven't really tried to work out what causes them.

thanks mate...your purple/blue flowers look awesome. i bet the colour looks blue because of your WB setting.
same thing happened to me at my sister's wedding. my bro-in-law was wearing a purple tie and it came out blue in every pic. another guy who was taking pics with his D90 had the same result. but somehow yet another guy with his D80 was able to get it purple. only difference was that fella was using an external flashgun.

anyway the vignetting can be done with the camera itself on some lenses and filters but mine was done in LR 2.3....there are about 6 sliders under Vignettes and i slide them all to the left except the last one i slide to the right. you can mess with it and get different effects.

I don't know what these flowers are.

They are on trees and are everywhere.

I just did a search on google and it might be some kind of pear tree.

Elisha good capture on some vivid color!, a good image, but maybe one to play with a bit and crop to fill the photo with the one center flower? or go back and get it again,I really like the 'veining' or texture in the petals

ok so since i had 3 comments about my flower pic regarding cropping and sharpening....here's a re-edited version:
