While sitting in the living room of my friend's house, I noticed how the light from the skylight was falling on a single leaf of the philodendron, so I grabbed the trusty Manfrotto, got into a gawd-awful position beneath the leaf, and made this little snap using the K24/2.8 in "macro mode." The pic is pretty much straight from the raw converter. I've just about got the converter dialed in so with a good exposure there's almost no need to tweak fiddle around except for some subtle color balance and exposure adjustments. Bada-bing! Into Photoshop for some final attention to details, and I'm finished. Reading "The Book" and spending a little time over on a couple of Photoshop forums has really saved me time and energy.
